Ja Morant received a standing ovation from Grizzlies fans when he returned to the court Wednesday for the first time following his NBA suspension.
“Ja’s conduct was irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him. He has expressed sincere remorse for his behavior.
The Grizzlies, which sit in first place in the Southwest Division, will face the Rockets again Friday night in Memphis.
