\n

Ja Morant has quickly become a superstar. The Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> guard has a unique skill set and is often the most gifted athlete on the basketball court on any given night.<\/p>\n

His high-flying slam dunks<\/a> have taken the internet by storm over the past couple of years, and he has helped lift his team to multiple playoff appearances and a division title. Last July, the Grizzlies rewarded Morant with a five-year supermax contract extension.<\/p>\n

The contract included incentives which entitled Morant to nearly a quarter-billion dollars if he met certain thresholds this season.<\/p>\n

Now, Morant has garnered a significant amount of attention on the internet, but for reasons that have nothing to do with his on the court feats.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morant briefly flashed a handgun at a strip club near Denver in an Instagram Live video on March 4. The ensuing fallout resulted in an eight-game suspension without pay<\/a> for conduct detrimental to the league, the NBA announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n

But the impact of Morant’s actions could further cost the star athlete an estimated $39 million.<\/p>\n

Per an NBA rule known as the “Derrick Rose Rule,” a team can pay 30% of its salary cap to any player that signs a maximum Designated Rookie extension, if that player meets certain qualifications.<\/p>\n

The select qualifications include a player winning the MVP award, two Defensive Player of the Year awards in the past three seasons or two All-NBA team appearances. At least one of those qualifications has to be met before the max contract kicks in for the player to receive the salary bump.<\/p>\n

Morant already has one appearance on the All-NBA team<\/a> to his credit, and appeared to be on his way to a second appearance until the incident earlier this month.<\/p>\n

According to Spotrac, a second All-NBA team appearance would result in the value of Morant’s extension jumping from $194 million to $233 million.<\/p>\n

The issue is that Morant might not play in enough games this season to qualify for an All-NBA team. If he plays in every remaining game after he returns from his suspension, Morant would finish the season with 65 games played.<\/p>\n

“I feel like in the past we didn\u2019t know what was at stake,” Morant said during a sit-down interview with ESPN’s Jalen Rose on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies have managed to hold onto the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference while Morant has been away from the team. Memphis is hoping to make a deep playoff run this upcoming postseason \u2014 with the help of Morant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
