When addressing potential discipline for Ja Morant earlier this month, commissioner Adam Silver was asked whether he believed the NBA went far enough in March, when the league suspended Morant for eight games after video surfaced of the Grizzlies guard brandishing a firearm at a Denver nightclub. Less than two months later Morant was at it again, this time in a moving car in Memphis, livestreaming with a handgun raised in the air.
“I guess in hindsight, I don’t know,” Silver said. “If it had been a 12-game suspension instead of an eight-game suspension, would that have mattered?”
Added Silver, “I don’t think we yet know what it will take to change his behavior.”
