Last month, the Memphis Grizzlies star was once again seen holding a gun in an Instagram Live video, which led to the NBA launching another investigation, and to the Grizzlies suspending Morant from all team activities.
In his press conference before the start of the 2023 NBA Finals, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced that the league has found additional information, while saying that the NBA is waiting to release any details or a potential punishment until after the NBA Finals are over.
So while we’re awaiting his punishment, Morant continues to be the talk of town. ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith now shared a very troubling comment when speaking about the All-Star, saying some people are concerned about whether or not he will be alive in five years because of his behavior.
“I can tell you that people within the NBA community are not just concerned about Ja Morant playing basketball. They’re concerned about whether or not he’s going to be alive in five years because of the environments that he finds himself around and the situations he finds himself confronted by. It’s a serious matter and it’s something that I think the NBA and everybody that knows anything about the kind of things that are going on with him find themselves concerned about.”
