Ja Morant has been the subject of numerous rumors and reports as of late. Over the past few months, Morant has been accused of threatening teenagers on multiple occasions. Overall, it has been a troubling pattern that got worse last weekend after he flashed a gun on Instagram Live. Morant was at a strip club at the time, which made the whole situation worse. Moreover, it came at a time when the reports around Morant were at their peak. Consequently, Morant was quickly suspended by the Grizzlies and the league.
Since that time, Morant has promised to work on himself. In fact, it was reported earlier this week that Morant would be going to a counseling program in Florida. Morant was applauded for this decision as it demonstrated a real desire to get better. However, it seems as though Ja Morant is already on his way out of the program. While details are sparse on the situation, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN had the scoop just moments ago.
Ja Morant To Return?
"Grizzlies star Ja Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York today," Wojnarowski said. "Morant has left a counseling program in Florida and moves closer to ramping up for return to season now." Needless to say, it is very likely that Morant will get to partake in the postseason. This runs completely against what Marc J Spears reported yesterday. In his report, he said the situation seemed dire and that Morant would have to sit out the rest of the year. Overall, Grizzlies fans are probably very excited about what they are hearing right now.
Moving forward, it will be interesting to see how all of this develops. After all, Morant went through a very difficult time, and no one wants to see him go back to old habits. That said, it is good to see that Adam Silver believes Ja is ready to come back. Of course, it will now all depend on the NBA's investigation into the star. However, it appears likely that he will be back on the floor sooner than originally believed. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates on this developing story.
