Ja Morant, suspended 3 more games

The NBA suspended Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant for three more games without pay, citing conduct detrimental to the league.

In a subsequent interview with ESPN, Morant owned up to “past mistakes” and vowed to make better decisions.

The suspension was for eight games in all and includes the five games he already missed following his live-streaming of a video on March 4 in which the NBA said Morant “is holding a firearm in an intoxicated state” while at a club in the Denver area following a loss to the Nuggets.
