Well, it's official.
Ja Morant has be suspended for 25 games:
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/37863825/sources-grizzlies-ja-morant-suspended-25-games-nbaIn my opinion, he got lucky. Many outlets spoke of a much higher punishment, even up to 1 season. The number which circulated the most was 30 games. So now it's "just" 25 games, seems like a good deal for him.
If he will learn something from the whole situation is a different story, der Grizzlies can only hope he does.
This will definitely harm Memphis to play without him in the first 30% of the season, at least they don't have to pay him for that time I guess.
He probably won’t learn his lesson. For them to have given him this suspension for having a legally owned gun (they claimed later it was a toy) in a video. He broke no laws and hurt nobody. That makes me think he was told explicitly not do have guns on social media and did it anyway. When this is all said and done he’ll probably lose 200 million plus dollars from all of this is salary and endorsements, but will still probably make another 400 million in his career so I doubt he cares too much.
