Ja Morant at Night Club: “I understand my mistakes, I will show who I am”
Ja Morant speaks for the first time after the accusations and separation from the franchise: here is his interview with ESPN
For the first time since his suspension and separation from the Memphis Grizzlies because of his adventure in a night club, Ja Morant speaks to the media.
In an interview with Jalen Rose on ESPN, he opens up about the most complicated period of his young career: the allegations of violence, the gun shown on Instagram Live, and his responsibility towards himself and the team.
It’s not who I am. I don’t forgive myself, nor do I forgive any kind of violence, but I take full responsibility for my actions. I understand what image has been created of me with my recent mistakes. I will show you who the real Ja is and change everyone’s perception

Ja Morant says he has regained his mental space thanks to the path he took only a few days away from the franchise and distractions outside of basketball.
I made terrible mistakes and put myself in a horrible position. I understand what I have to lose and what we have to lose as a group. I need to be smarter, more responsible, and stay out of trouble

In the past few hours, Ja Morant has met with Commissioner Adam Silver to discuss his situation. The Grizzlies star was not only being investigated by Memphis officials but also by the NBA, which has always paid close attention to the case.
It was a very open discussion. He talked to me about the things I need to improve on, but he showed me his support. I apologize and apologize to everyone, from my family to my teammates, staff, and the league for bringing a negative image with my bad decisions

The suspension will end for the game against the Mavs, but it will likely take a few more days to see the Grizzlies star back on the court. Now it’s up to Morant to prove with his actions that he has truly learned something from this ugly story.
