Ja Morant won’t return to an NBA court for at least another week, though the Memphis Grizzlies star was cleared by Colorado authorities who investigated a social media video in which he appeared to flash a gun.
The Grizzlies announced Wednesday that Morant will remain sidelined for at least the next four games in the wake of an Instagram Live video stream in which he appeared to show off a handgun while dancing and rapping at Shotgun Willie’s, a nightclub in Glendale, Colo.Memphis Coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that Morant was undergoing a “healing process” and it would be “disrespectful” to put a timetable on his possible return.
A Glendale Police Department spokesman confirmed Monday that Morant filmed the video inside the nightclub, near Denver, and that a departmental investigation was underway to determine whether Morant was under the influence of alcohol while possessing the firearm. Under Colorado law, such action could lead to a charge of prohibited use of a weapon.
The Grizzlies have lost both of their games during Morant’s absence and slipped to the Western Conference’s No. 3 seed behind the Sacramento Kings. Morant will miss an upcoming home game against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, a home-and-road set with the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday and Monday and a March 15 visit to the Miami Heat.
