NBA suspends Ja Morant 25 games for 2nd social media video involving a gun

Associated Press  

Memphis guard Ja Morant has been suspended 25 games by the NBA — his second ban in four months — and Commissioner Adam Silver made clear Friday the star must stop his “alarming” habit of flashing guns on social media. Silver made clear the two-time All-Star’s decision-making is “disconcerting.” “The potential for other young people to emulate Ja’s conduct is particularly concerning,” Silver said. NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio said the players association thinks the NBA went too far punishing Morant, calling it “excessive and inappropriate” and inconsistent with the league’s past discipline. Morant will have to finish a program with the league addressing the issues Silver said “led him to repeat this destructive behavior.” Morant’s eight-game suspension cost him about $669,000 in forfeited salary after the first video surfaced on March 4 on his own Instagram account.
