NBA commissioner Adam Silver told Dan Patrick he was 'incredibly disappointed' when he learned of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s second gun incident.
"I know Ja a bit. I've known him. He’s a star in our league. And the sense was he came in, he fully owned it, was saying, ‘I’ve made a terrible mistake. I’ve learned from the mistake,’" Silver told Dan Patrick when discussing his meeting with Morant after the Denver gun incident.
The commissioner did not dive into the number of games Morant may be suspended, but he did note that Morant needs help from the league to change his behavior. "I also think it's important to point out that this is not just about disciplining him and crossing your fingers hoping it's not a third time," Silver said."I recognize that he needs some assistance from the, his union, his team. No doubt he’s a remarkable player, and I think he’s a very engaging young man. And it’s one of the reasons he has this enormous following on social media, but it’s a two-edged sword. And he has to own that and take responsibility for it.
