NBA types discuss the Ja Morant suspension: “I’m sure the people in the league office are concerned for Ja as a person, too, but they have to prioritize the business.”
Plus: Great perspective from a former NBA player on how technology has changed things.

El episodio del club nocturno puede costarle a Ja Morant $39 millones, que es la diferencia en lo que puede devengar en su próximo contrato si es/no es seleccionado a un cuadro ideal (All-NBA team) esta temporada. pic.twitter.com/oJYqWzVRzJ – 10:40 PM

The Grizzlies win 133-119 at home against Golden State. Another intense game between these two. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the way with 31 points. Dillon Brooks brought the theatrics (and defense).
Ja Morant joins the team on Monday – 10:38 PM

Taylor Jenkins said his ongoing conversations with Ja Morant give him confidence he’s ready to return, but it will be an ongoing process.
“It all starts with what is in between here (*points to head*) and what’s here (*points to heart*).” – 6:28 PM

Will Ja Morant’s recent behavior cost him an All-NBA selection?
Missing it would have major financial implications for him and the Grizzlies.

FYI, I have the Ja Morant suspension at $668,639 which is 1/145th of his salary multiplied by 8 games – 7:19 PM

More on this storyline
Garnett did not criticize Morant. Instead, he offered sage advice on how to improve his image and learn from his mistakes. “He has to have a conversation with someone that understands the ramifications of where he is growing into,” Garnett said. “This is a compliment to Ja. Both aspects and where you are and the pedestal we’re all put on, is one you actually earned yourself. We’re all sitting here watching this story Ja has given and we’ve been all happy with the narrative until we get to parts like this. Just know that every story has peaks and valleys. Just know that each individual that calls himself a human being has experienced peaks and valleys. -via Boston Globe / March 19, 2023
“They suspended him for being bad for business,” one prominent player agent told Heavy Sports. “I’m sure the people in the league office are concerned for Ja as a person, too, but they have to prioritize the business. His family, the team and the other people around him have to be there to support the guy, but everybody has to know where the league is on this. “I tell all my players: this is all a giant machine. Yeah, it runs on your talent, but it’s the business the league has grown that draws in the money. The popularity of the league gives you the platform not only for your salary but for the endorsements and all the other revenue that’s out there for you. Companies want to be associated with the NBA, and you can see that in how much the value of these franchises has gone up. The guys who really make bank are the ones who understand how everything’s tied together. -via Heavy.com / March 19, 2023
“I really hope he gets his s*** together,” a rival coach told Heavy Sports after the suspension was announced. “Dynamic players like him don’t come around every day. I have to watch so much video to prepare for our games that sometimes you just want to get a break from it after you’ve finished your work. But if Ja’s on, I’m watching. “A guy like that who’s not only physically gifted, but, more than that, he plays with such intensity… guys like that drive the sport. Basketball’s a whole lot better with him in it.” -via Heavy.com / March 19, 2023
