After seeing Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> All-Star Ja Morant in yet another Instagram Live video holding a firearm, NBA commissioner Adam Silver was “shocked.”<\/p>\n

Silver spoke with ESPN\u2019s Malika Andrews about the situation that comes just two months after Morant was suspended eight games<\/a> for doing the same thing on his own Instagram account while at a nightclub. This time, Morant was caught on a friend\u2019s Instagram account while they were in a car together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw this weekend that video,” Silver said from the NBA Draft Lottery Tuesday. “Now, we’re in the process of investigating it, and we’ll figure out exactly what happened to the best we can. The video is a bit grainy and all that, but I’m assuming the worst.”<\/p>\n

The Instagram account belonged to Morant\u2019s friend, Davonte Pack, who was also involved in multiple off-the-court instances that the league has investigated. He was also banned from Grizzlies games for one year after getting involved in a post-game altercation with the Indiana Pacers<\/a> on Jan. 29.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At that time, the Pacers claimed they saw a red laser pointed at them from an SUV where Morant was inside. However, the league\u2019s investigation “could not corroborate that any individual threatened others with a weapon.”<\/p>\n

Morant\u2019s first incident with a handgun came while intoxicated at a club while in Denver to face the Nuggets.<\/p>\n

Morant enrolled in a counseling facility in Florida. There, Morant was set to learn about how to better manage stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He later traveled to New York City to meet with Silver, which came 11 days after the incident in Denver.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the meeting, Silver laid down his punishment: Eight games suspended without pay. Silver called Morant\u2019s actions “irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous.”<\/p>\n

“Before we got to a subsequent potential to have done something wrong, we were very focused on the misconduct that was in front of us at the time,” Silver said on Tuesday, via ESPN. “Frankly, most of our conversation was about how incredibly serious the first incident was of waving a firearm on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Against, the consequences there \u2014 an eight-game suspension \u2014 was pretty serious and something that he, at least to me, seemed to take incredibly seriously in that time. And we spoke for a long time about not just the consequences that could have on his career, but the safety issues around it \u2013 [Morant] could\u2019ve injured, maimed, killed himself, someone else with an act like that \u2013 and also the acknowledgment that he\u2019s a star. He has an incredibly huge following, and [we discussed] my concern \u2014 and I thought he shared with me \u2014 that millions, if not tens of millions, of kids globally would have seen him do something that was celebrating in a way that act of using a firearm in that fashion.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the NBA investigates Morant\u2019s incident, the Grizzlies have suspended him from all team activities pending the league\u2019s review.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
