Adam Silver said he was shocked to see another gun video because he talked with Ja Morant about how 'incredibly serious' the first incident was.
Earlier Tuesday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he was"shocked" to see Morant's latest video because he believed Morant was taking the matter"incredibly serious" following the conversation they had months ago.ahead of the NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago."We were very focused on the misconduct that was in front of us at the time. Frankly, most of our conversation was about how incredibly serious the first incident was of waving a firearm on social media.
In March, Silver sat down with Morant after he brandished a gun at a Denver-area nightclub on Instagram Live following Memphis' road loss to the Nuggets on March 3. Morant elected to step away from the courtand enrolled himself into a counseling facility in Florida before an eight-game suspension was handed down by the league for"irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous" conduct.
"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," Silver said."And we spoke for a long time about not just the consequences that could have on his career, but the safety issues around it – could've injured, maimed, killed himself, someone else with an act like that."“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend — that video.
