Grizzlies suspend Ja Morant for at least two games
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has been suspended for at least the next two games - Sunday and Tuesday in Los Angeles against the Clippers and Lakers, respectivey - the team announced Saturday afternoon.
What It Means:
The Grizzlies are making this move after the latest of tough-look, off-the-court incidents surrounding the All-Star guard. Around 3 a.m. ET Saturday morning, Morant went live on social media brandishing a gun in a strip club. Now, the team has said he'll be away from the squad for at least the next two games. Expect a lot of Tyus Jones and Kennedy Chandler.
In 53 games this season, Morant is averaging 27.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 47.2 FanDuel points.
