Ja Morant will be away from the Grizzlies for at least their next two games thanks to a controversial social media post, the team said Saturday
“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating,”The league, if it finds wrongdoing, could fine or suspend Morant. Based on the Grizzlies’ statement, the earliest Morant could play again is Thursday at home against Golden State. His Instagram and Twitter accounts were disabled on Saturday, shortly after the Grizzlies announced his two-game absence.
That incident was following a game against the Indiana Pacers; citing unnamed sources, The Indianapolis Star and USA Today reported that multiple members of the Pacers saw a red dot pointed at them, and the Athletic reported that a Pacers security guard believed the laser was attached to a gun. Pack and Morant also are involved in a civil lawsuit brought after an incident at Morant’s home this past summer, in which a 17-year-old alleged that they assaulted him. The Shelby County district attorney’s office said in January that it was “aware of the incident, and after careful review of the facts, decided that there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case”.
He also is a sought-after endorser. On Christmas, Nike unveiled Morant’s first signature shoe, which is set to be released in the coming weeks. And earlier this week, Powerade announced a multiyear endorsement deal with Morant.
