Nike Issues a Statement Concerning Grizzlies Star Ja Morant

After the Grizzlies’ game against the Denver Nuggets Friday night, Grizzlies superstar guard Ja Morant posted an Instagram live video of himself at what seemed to be a strip club early on Saturday morning.

During this video, Morant was seen brandishing a firearm at the camera, sparking the league to investigate him and the Grizzlies to also act quickly.

Nike issued a statement regarding Ja Morant’s present situation following the Memphis Grizzlies’ news that he’ll be missing the team’s next two games minimum,

“We appreciate Ja’s accountability and that he is taking the time to get the help he needs. We support his prioritization of his well-being,”

according to reports from highly respected NBA Insider, Shams Charania.

Now, it does not appear that Morant will be dropped from Nike’s roster, but this incident with him carrying a pistol in the club might pose unforeseen situations between the two parties in the future.

Morant also made a statement via his agency, Tandem Sports & Entertainment, on Saturday. It stated,

Ja Morant stated in his statement that he will “take some time apart” following his two-game “suspension” from the organization. It remains to be uncertain when Morant will return to the hardwood. If these last couple of days didn’t wake up Morant, this situation has the potential to turn real ugly.

The Grizzlies are suddenly extremely short-handed after Brandon Clarke tore his left Achilles tendon on Friday night and Dillon Brooks received his 16th technical foul of the season, which culminates in a one-game suspension from the NBA.

As of today, the Grizzlies sit only half a game above Sacramento for the #2 seed in the West with a record of 38-25.
