Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has spoken out about his recent suspension from the team, taking “full accountability” for his actions.
Morant was suspended from all team activities on Sunday after he was seen in an Instagram Live video over the weekend waving what appeared to be a firearm. The 23-year-old point guard released a statement Tuesday evening, apologizing for disappointing his supporters and vowing to continue to work on himself.
The NBA is also investigating the incident, which is the second time this year that Morant has been seen with a gun on social media. In April, he was suspended by the league for displaying a gun on social media.
“My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions,” Morant said in his statement. “This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do.”
The Memphis Grizzlies have yet to comment on the situation, but they have said that they are taking the matter seriously and will continue to investigate the incident. It is unclear at this time how long Morant’s suspension will last.
