Grizzlies star Ja Morant to travel, practice with team while serving 25-game suspension

Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman confirmed on Monday during the team’s media day that Morant — who was suspended for 25 games for conduct detrimental to the league after displaying a handgun on multiple Instagram Live videos last season — won’t have to be away from the team until he can return.

Morant was involved in several troubling incidents last season. He went live on Instagram in March from a Colorado nightclub hours after their game against the Nuggets and flashed what appeared to be a gun. He was not charged with a crime. He then flashed a handgun in a vehicle again in May, and theMorant's entourage allegedly threatened Indiana Pacers staff members

Morant averaged 26.2 points, 8.1 assists and 5.9 rebounds last season, his fourth with the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old is entering the first year of a five-year, $197 million deal with the team this fall.
