The Memphis Grizzlies are going to be without point guard Ja Morant for an undetermined amount of time after he was seen showing a gun at a nightclub in Denver early Saturday morning.
Morant has since apologized for the video, which was streamed on Instagram live.
Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins delivered a supportive, but firm, message about Morant prior to the Grizzlies’ loss to the Clippers on Sunday night. He said there is no timetable for Morant’s return.
“He is definitely embracing the mistakes that he has made, but only time will tell,” Jenkins said. “We are going to hold him accountable to make those changes.”
After the game, several of Morant’s teammates were also asked about their reaction to the video. They all delivered a similar response.
