While the NBA world is revolving around news like the Denver Nuggets eliminating the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 4-0, LeBron James hinting at the possibility of retiring and the Boston Celtics escaping the “sweep” of the Miami Heat.. the name Ja Morant suddenly appeared.
The superstar defender of the Memphis Grizzlies posted 3 stories at once on his personal page, expressing love, respect and gratitude to 3 family members including father, mother and daughter.
He then posted an interview image with the NBA logo, along with the message “bye”. Not long after the above series of stories appeared, they were deleted from social networks.
The initial reaction of the online community was quite mixed, but a part of fans realized that something was wrong and were concerned about Ja Morant’s mental health. It seems that for this reason, police in Shelby County, Tennessee, immediately went to Morant’s home to check the situation.
After completing the “Welfare Check” process (roughly translated as health status check), Tennessee police representatives said the 1999-born defender is still in stable condition.
The following statement was released: “Representatives of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office met and checked on Ja Morant at his residence, he is currently fine. Morant said he wanted to take a break from social networks for a while.
This series of social media posts is Ja Morant’s first activity after he was fully suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies 10 days ago. The punishment was given by the team after Morant showed off his weapon for the second time on an Instagram livestream. Last time Ja Morant violated the law and was suspended for 8 matches.
As for the NBA, executive committee member Mr. Adam Silver was shocked to learn the information related to Morant: ” Actually, I was completely shocked. We are in the process of investigating and thoroughly understanding what happened .”
Ja Morant also shared a message, expressing remorse for his actions: ” I know I have disappointed, especially those who have supported me in the past. Words may not mean much right now, but I take full responsibility for my actions.”
Once selected with the second round in the 2019 NBA Draft, Ja Morant quickly became one of the top young stars in the American Professional Basketball League.
The defender born in 1999 just finished his fourth season in the NBA, averaging 26.2 points with 8.1 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game. In four seasons of competition, Morant was an All-Star twice and regularly appeared in the Playoffs.
However, with many talents but also many flaws, Ja Morant has been involved in many problems and scandals off the football field. In the past 3 months alone, he twice showed weapons on livestream and received very harsh reactions from fans.
