Three days after a second video of Ja Morant flashing a gun surfaced on social media, Adam Silver said that he was 'shocked' by the behavior of the Memphis Grizzlies guard.
"Frankly most of our conversation was about how incredibly serious the first incident was of waving a firearm on social media. The consequences there — an eight-game suspension — was pretty serious. And something that he at least to me seemed to take incredibly seriously in that time. ...
Silver cited discussing"safety issues" with Morant — that he could have injured or killed somebody — in addition to the example he's setting for"millions if not tens of millions of kids." He added that the league is investigating the new video, but that"I'm assuming the worst."The announcement landed a day after Instagram Live video surfaced of Morant flashing a gun from the passenger seat of a car.
