Ja Morant will be away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least their next two games, the team announced Saturday, not long after the NBA opened an investigation into a social media post by the guard after he livestreamed himself holding what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub.
Morant said in a statement distributed through the agency that represents him that he takes ''full responsibility'' for his actions — adding that he was going to ''take some time away to get help.''
The video was streamed by Morant on his Instagram page early Saturday, hours after the Grizzlies played in Denver.
