CNN —Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been suspended for 25 games without pay by the NBA for “conduct detrimental to the league,” the NBA announced Friday.
The NBA had suspended Morant for eight games without pay in March after he was seen in another Instagram Live video holding a gun at a nightclub in Glendale, Colorado, a suburb of Denver.
The league said Morant’s unpaid suspension runs through the first 25 games of the upcoming 2023-24 regular season.
He will not be allowed to take part in any “public” team activities, including preseason games, until the suspension is lifted.
Earlier this month, Silver said what was important was not the amount of games Morant was suspended for but rather changing his life path.
