Ja Morant Will Reportedly Lose Out On $7.6M By Missing 25 Games
Dreddsworld previously reported that for the second time in a little more than two months, the NBA has suspended Ja Morant over his brandishing a handgun during an Instagram Live video.
The ban, this time, is for 25 games, the league announced Friday in a statement.
“Morant posed with a firearm in a car during a live-streamed video on May 13, less than two months after he was suspended eight games without pay for the live streaming of a video on March 4 in which he displayed a firearm while in an intoxicated state at a Denver area nightclub,” the NBA said in a statement.

According to new reports reaching us at Dreddsworld, during Ja Morant’s 25 game suspension, he will lose a total of $7.6 million in NBA game salary & Ja Morant will miss out on making $304,000 per game.
The league office found that, on May 13, Morant intentionally and prominently displayed a gun while in a car with several other individuals as they were leaving a social gathering in Memphis.
On May 16, Morant issued a statement taking full accountability for his actions. Morant again issued a statement after the latest suspension was announced, saying he will spend the “offseason and my suspension continuing to work on my own mental health and decision making.”
The Grizzlies said in a statement on Friday that they respect the league’s decision. “Our standards as a league and team are clear, and we expect that all team personnel will adhere to them,” the statement read.
