The NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant for 8 games without pay, saying his action of holding a firearm in a club earlier this month was “conduct detrimental to the league.”

Link copiedMIAMI — The NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant eight games without pay, after determining that his holding a firearm at a club in suburban Denver earlier this month was “conduct detrimental to the league.”The games already missed will count toward the suspension, and Morant will forfeit about $669,000 in salary.

“Ja’s conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him.”Associated Press
