Former NBA Star Slams Ja Morant

In this story:
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is finally back from his 25-game suspension, but some are still discussing his actions that led to such a long absence. During a recent episode of That’s What Sheed Said, former NBA star Rasheed Wallace slammed the Memphis Grizzlies star for his two gun incidents.
"He only got 25 [games] because he is who he is, in my opinion," Wallace said. "It was a d***head move. You told us after the first incident of the pistol, or actually the cap gun, you talking about you learned your lesson, you sorry to your fans, the league, this and that, you’re willing to take any punishment. Alright, and what happened a couple days later? You back on there with an even smaller cap gun… I blame his homies, too. All three of them was d***heads, because somebody should have spoke up."
Calling out Morant and his friends, Wallace slammed the behavior that led to the Grizzlies star getting handed a 25-game suspension from the NBA. While it's understandable for people to have opinions on Morant's situation, it feels like it is time to leave it in the past.
Morant of course deserved a suspension, but he has served it, and is back to playing great basketball. This is what the focus should be on now for him and the Grizzlies.
