BREAKING: Grizzlies Announce Major Update on Ja Morant Gun Suspension

The Memphis Grizzlies announced that Ja Morant will miss at least four more games

The Memphis Grizzlies had previously kept Ja Morant away from the team for two games, both of which came in Los Angeles against the Clippers and Lakers. Upon their return back home, the Grizzlies made a major announcement that revealed Morant will miss at least four more games.

The team was brief in their statement, as it only mentioned the updated timeline for Morant. It was always likely that he would miss more than the initial two games that were announced, and it will now be interesting to see if his suspension extends beyond these next four games as well.

This is not an official league suspension for Morant, although that could still be coming at the end of the NBA's investigation, but this is a decision being made by the Memphis Grizzlies to keep him away from the team. The Colorado Police investigation found no sufficient evidence to charge Morant with a crime, but that does not mean the NBA will not hand out their own punishment in addition to what the Grizzlies have decided internally.

Lost in the madness of this situation, is that the Grizzlies have been falling down the standings since this all took place. Now 3rd in the Western Conference, Memphis is in danger of falling even further if they cannot figure out how to pick up some wins in the absence of their best player.
