Now is all about actions, but Ja Morant issued his first words and took responsibility for his recent struggles off the floor.

Ja Morant statement: “I know I’ve disappointed a lot of people who have supported me. This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions. I’m committed to continuing to work on myself.” – 10:40 PM

If I’m the Charlotte Hornets, there is no f’ing way I pass up on Scoot Henderson with the No. 2 overall pick. The guy is going to be a superstar. He’s like Ja Morant but without all the baggage/bad stuff. Don’t screw this up Michael Jordan … draft Scoot! – 8:35 PM

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made his first public comments since another viral video of Ja Morant with what appeared to be a gun surfaced on Sunday. Not sounding great for Ja.

Every time Ja Morant finds the smoke he so often searches out, a popular opinion is that he needs to hang around better friends.
But friends are not his main problem. It’s his own judgment.

Ja Morant lost $40M by not making All-NBA. He didn’t make All-NBA because he was suspended for 8 games for acting a fool. – 12:39 AM

Jeff Zillgitt: Statement from Ja Morant: “I know I’ve disappointed a lot of people who have supported me. This is a journey & I recognize there is more work to do. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions. I’m committed to continuing to work on myself” -via Twitter @JeffZillgitt / May 16, 2023
Michael Grange: “My concern … & I though he shared it with me was millions of kids … would see him as … celebrating that act of using a firearm … I was left with the impression that he was taking this incredibly seriously,” — Adam Silver on his first meeting with Ja Morant re: firearms. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / May 16, 2023
The NBA is investigating the incident, the Grizzlies have suspended their star player who likely faces a lengthy ban and sports analysts across the United States have been left stunned that Morant has not learnt from previous mistakes. But Memphis rapper Blocboy JB – real name James Lee Baker – posted a message on his Instagram story in defense of Morant. ‘Guns are not illegal,’ he wrote. ‘If he turnt (drunk) in his car with his gun dats in his name in his yard and somebody recorded him dat ain’t on him. Free Ja.’ -via Daily Mail / May 16, 2023
