It’s been a wild ride for Ja Morant in his first two years in the NBA. After being selected as the second overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, Morant quickly established himself as one of the league’s brightest young stars. He was named an All-Star in both of his first two seasons, and he was even named the NBA’s Rookie of the Year in 2020.
However, Morant recently found himself in some hot water after receiving a 25-game suspension for leaving the bench during an altercation between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Utah Jazz. The suspension was handed down by the NBA on April 30th, and it was the longest suspension ever given to a player for leaving the bench.
Now, after serving his suspension, Morant is set to discuss his return with the media. He will be available to speak with reporters on Wednesday, May 12th, and he is expected to address his suspension and his plans for the future.
Morant has already proven himself to be one of the most talented players in the league, and he will be looking to make a statement when he returns from his suspension. He will be looking to prove that he can still be an All-Star caliber player despite the setback, and he will also be looking to show that he can be a leader for the Grizzlies going forward.
It will be interesting to hear what Morant has to say about his suspension and his plans for the future. It is clear that he has a lot of potential, and it will be exciting to see how he responds to this challenge. With two All-Star appearances already under his belt, Ja Morant is sure to have plenty to say when he speaks with reporters on Wednesday.
