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-nba

In 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.  Grin

It's a good thing he sells tickets.  I firmly believe anyone else who is just a role player gets a year.  This is an entertainment league and ja is one the the more entertaining players.  It's unfortunate but that's how it is.  Dude better grow up quick otherwise he will work his way into being blackballed by the owners and not able to sign.
