NBA makes Ja Morant eligible to return for Monday’s game in MEM w/Mavs. Rooting for his recovery. @NBA is a much more exciting place when he plays, so not trying to be flip here. He entered a program in Florida on Monday. Does a few days in said program solve his issues? – 3:11 PM

The NBA did not conclude that the gun at issue belonged to Ja Morant, was brought by him into the nightclub or was displayed by him beyond a brief period. The investigation also did not find that Morant possessed the gun while traveling with the team or in any NBA facility. – 3:09 PM

For Wolves purposes, I think this leads you to believe that getting the 6 seed means they’ll play the Kings, 7 seed they’ll play the Grizzlies, 8 seed they’ll play the Nuggets. Obviously 7/8 seed would be determined by the play-in. – 3:08 PM

According to reporting from Woj, Morant is not eligible to rejoin the Grizzlies in any capacity until March 20th. He’ll begin his ramp up process then and return to game action shortly thereafter. – 3:05 PM

Not gonna pretend like I know Ja Morant or what he’s been dealing with, but I hope he’s all right. What amounts to a couple games suspension – including time already missed where he only spent a few days in counseling –
doesn’t feel like much. – 3:04 PM

Calling his broadcast on social media of him holding a gun in a club “irresponsible” and “reckless,” the NBA has suspended Ja Morant for eight games. That includes the games he has already missed, meaning he could return on Monday vs. Dallas. – 3:03 PM

Here’s the basketball bottom line of the NBA’s Ja Morant announcement: He’s eligible to be on the court in five days (home against Dallas).
It’s a massive factor that the league did not conclude that the gun belonged to Morant or was brought to NBA facilities (plane included). – 3:02 PM
