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

No doubt that it's a better punishment than being suspended the entire season for the upcoming one. I even thought that it's doubled and up to 50 games but 25 sounds better and lesser. But we'll still go to see if he's learning his lesson and will be more careful with his actions since the eyes of the public are on him. He's now a living meme honestly and hopefully, he won't be triggered anymore with those guns and chicks on the side. He can do that privately and that's the solution for him to avoid controversies.
