October 19th 2023.
Ja Morant, the embattled and suspended Memphis Grizzlies player, recently responded to a social media message sent out by Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders. Sanders, a Hall of Famer in the NFL, is known for sending out words of encouragement to his followers, which is exactly what he did on October 18th. He posted an inspiring message on the platform X, which Morant seemed to relate to.
Morant replied to Sanders’ post with “right on time prime much needed” and included a link to the message. This response came after the NBA suspended Morant for being seen on social media holding a gun.
The league has allowed the Grizzlies guard to practice and travel with his team while he serves out his punishment. On October 3rd, he was spotted at the team's home stadium, the FedEx Forum. Coach Taylor Jenkins revealed that Morant would be working with the bench players in training camp while his suspension is in effect.
The suspension came after Morant was seen with a gun on an Instagram Live video at a Denver nightclub. It was the second time he had been seen on social media with a gun in his hand. The league originally suspended him for eight games back in March 2023.
It's encouraging to see that despite his suspension, Morant is still receiving words of encouragement from influential people like Sanders. We hope that he will use this time to reflect and learn from his mistakes so that he can return to the court with a fresh perspective.
