It was announced on Wednesday afternoon that Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant had met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver to discuss his actions in Colorado, which included flashing a gun during an Instagram live video.

During an interview with ESPN, Morant spoke about this meeting, revealing details of what he and Silver discussed.

"It was good -- pretty much an open discussion," Morant said. "Obviously, he said things I need to be better at, but more of just showing his support towards me. I accepted that, and I also sent my apologies to everybody -- to the league, myself, my teammates, my family for putting that negativity towards all of us with a bad decision."

Silver included a statement in the NBA's press release this afternoon that read, "Ja's conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous. It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him. He has expressed sincere contrition and remorse for his behavior. Ja has also made it clear to me that he has learned from this incident and that he understands his obligations and responsibility to the Memphis Grizzlies and the broader NBA community extend well beyond his play on the court."

The star point guard will now begin ramping up, as he is eligible to return against the Dallas Mavericks on March 20th.
