On Monday, the Glendale Police Department has started their investigation on Ja Morant after gun Instagram live video.
Morant has been sued for run-in with the teen, in which the All-Star guard claims he was acting in self-defense.
He was also involved in a January incident in which some members of the Indiana Pacers traveling party claim Morant’s entourage pointed a laser at them, potentially attached to a gun. Morant took “full responsibility” for his actions and issued an apology statement after his suspension was announced. “I’m sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, the city of Memphis and the entire organization for letting you down,” the statement read. “I’m going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.”Jenkins and the Grizzlies have said their support of Morant throughout the process,, who is partnered with the NBA star and produced his first signature shoe, the Ja 1, in February.
“We love him. We want what’s best for him,” Jenkins said. “We support him. It’s going to be a difficult process but we’ve got a great group to get through this.”
