Commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Adam Silver said that the disciplinary measures against the defender “Memphis Grizzlies Ja Moranta will be announced at the end of the final playoff series.
In March, the NBA suspended Morant for eight games without pay for “behavior detrimental to the league”. The reason for the disqualification was an incident involving Morant, who demonstrated a firearm during a social media show. In May, it became known that the basketball player once again took out a gun in the frame.
We have received a lot of additional information since I was first asked about this situation. It seems to me that at this time it is better not to make public statements. I think shortly after the end of the final, we will announce the results of the investigation.
If his suspension had been 12 games instead of eight, would that matter? I know the suspension was based on precedent and we want to be fair in league terms, it seemed appropriate at the time. That’s all I can say.
I think we still know what it takes to change his behavior. I said the same thing then. He seems like a good young man, but he clearly made some mistakes. I hope we will come to a conclusion on what type of disciplinary action is appropriate. It’s not just about discipline, but what we, the players’ association, his team, himself and the people around him are going to do to make sure this doesn’t happen again in the future, quotes ESPN Silver.
The four-game final series between Denver and Miami began on June 1. The Nuggets won Game 1 104:93.
