Ja Morant calls Memphis Grizzlies after win vs Golden State ... (The Commercial Appeal)

After the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors Thursday, they got a congratulatory call from Ja Morant, who's been away for the last three games.

Coach Taylor Jenkins said Thursday that as Morant continues to get better, there are steps he must clear personally and professionally before he's cleared to return to play. He's still with us every single game, every single day and we can't wait to have him back." Police in Colorado declined to file charges this week after launching an investigation but the NBA's investigation remains ongoing. Desmond Bane added that Morant said "good win" and he also missed them. Even though he's not with us, he's still with us.

Coming out of this complicated period for such a young team will not be a walk in the park. In the recent past, Memphis had become known for its working-class mentality, grit, and grind spirit. The worst for Memphis may not be over yet. The man, during the fall, to calm himself, repeats that everything is going well up to that point. Ja Morant needs to understand that his star role on the court must necessarily be accompanied by more professionalism off the court. In the final year of the contract extension, the Memphis point guard could end up making nearly $42 million. The Grizzlies player issued a public apology and deleted, at least temporarily, all of his social media profiles. Members of Pacers security believed that that laser came from a firearm; after conducting its own investigation, the NBA did not confirm this assumption. Up until last week, the Grizzlies were the second-strongest team in the Western Conference and never missed an opportunity to make it clear to everyone how unafraid they were of their opponents. This, so far, has not been an easy year for the Grizzlies star. [Dillon Brooks](https://basketnews.com/players/21586-dillon-brooks.html). Ja Morant became the hottest topic in the league, Brandon Clarke and Steven Adams suffered severe injuries, and Dillon Brooks seems unable to stop creating problems for himself.

"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."
