In March, I Morant express “sincere remorse” for their past mistakes Adam Silvercommissioner of the NBA. His good attitude earned him a soft ban after turning up with a gun at a night club after a game of Memphis in Denver. He was suspended for eight games and a few days in a rehabilitation institution were enough to get him off the hook, despite committing a serious violation according to the code of conduct that governs the American league. His recidivism, which is already being investigated by the NBA and the Grizzlies, can be much more damaging.
“This has been unbelievably stupid”, commented to Sports Illustrated an anonymous executive from another franchise. An automatic suspension of at least 20 games is expected, although there are senior officials from other teams who think that a suspension of half a year or more is not out of the question at all. “Silver must set a precedent”, opined another member of the upper echelons of the league.
Morant, who said he was very sorry for his actions just two months ago, has reopened Pandora’s box in the NBA. His eight-game suspension and his non-inclusion in the All NBA quintets, largely a direct consequence of their actions, have not served as a lesson. Neither the lose 40 million dollars guaranteed from his contract to be part of the league’s elite if he was chosen among the top 15 players.
Only two months have passed and Morant stumbles upon the same stone, now much more bulging and a difficult problem for everyone involved to solve. In that first instance, Silver appeared before the media and defined the attitude of the young American star as “irresponsible”, “reckless” and “potentially very dangerous”. What will he say about the 23-year-old now?
For now, the Grizzlies you have been suspended from all activities group games pending review and subsequent decision by the NBA. Whatever happens, everyone will pay the price.
