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).

"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." I’m sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, the city of Memphis and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting you down," Morant said. "Obviously, this came to a head the other day, so we put this process into action." [CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM](https://www.foxnews.com/sports)
