Woj: Ja Morant facing possibility of a lengthy suspension to start next season
Adrian Wojnarowski: “Ja Morant is facing the real possibility of a suspension, a lengthy suspension to start next season after this latest incident when he ended up [with] an apparent firearm in his possession. This is twice in two months now. The league suspended him for 8 games, really two of them retroactively to just two games this season.

Ja Morant’s quick rehab and return to play as well as the Jalen Rose interview all felt very token-y. Adam Silver may be left with no choice but to severely punish now, Ja needs to know and feel there are major consequences for these actions just to save him from himself. – 12:03 PM

Ja Morant was suspended eight games for flashing a gun at a Denver nightclub last March. Safe to assume the punishment this time will be more significant. 15 games? 20? It’s May and the Grizzlies could already be looking at missing Morant for a quarter of next season. – 11:48 AM

Adrian Wojnarowski: “I sense already today Adam Silver is going to feel increasing pressure from other teams in the league who see this. As much as it impacts the Grizzlies, that impacts them and their ability to market their players and their teams. There was a sense with that 8 game suspension earlier this season that Adam Silver showed some restraint in that edict with Ja Morant, took him at his word that he would make better decisions [when] they met in league headquarters.” -via Twitter @ESPNNBA / May 14, 2023
