Adam Silver 'Shocked' By Ja Morant Holding Gun In Social Media Video Again - RealGM Wiretap
Adam Silver said he was"shocked" when he saw a social media video of Ja Morant holding a firearm less than two months after they met to discuss a similar incident. The NBA suspended Morant for eight games when he was holding a handgun at a Denver-area club during an Instagram Live session.
"Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video," Silver told ESPN's Malika Andrews from the NBA's draft lottery Tuesday in Chicago."Now, we're in the process of investigating it, and we'll figure out exactly what happened to the best we can. The video is a bit grainy and all that, but I'm assuming the worst.""We talked directly about the consequences first," Silver told ESPN on Tuesday.
"Again, 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. And we spoke for a long time about not just the consequences that could have on his career, but the safety issues around it -- [Morant] could've injured, maimed, killed himself, someone else with an act like that -- and also the acknowledgment that he's a star.
