Ja Morant's Expected Punishment for New Gun Video Revealed

With Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flashing a gun on Instagram live again, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported on the expected punishment for this latest incident.

"Ja Morant is facing the very real possibility of a suspension - a lengthy suspension to start next season after this latest incident with he and an apparent firearm in his possession," Wojnarowski said on ESPN. "This is twice in two months now... I sense already today that Adam Silver is going to feel increasing pressure form other teams in the league who see this - as much as it impacts the Grizzlies, it impacts them and their ability to market their players and their teams."

Wojnarowski added that there was a sense around the league that Adam Silver showed some restraint with his punishment for Morant's first gun incident, taking the star guard at his word, and believing that Morant would make better choices going formats. Now with the Grizzlies point guard making the same mistake just two months later, Wojnarowksi says Morant is likely going to face a significant suspension to begin next season.

This will be an interesting story to follow, as the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies have a lot to figure out following Morant's second gun incident in two months. According to Wojnarowksi, a lengthy suspension is expected to be handed out by Adam Silver and the NBA.
