Ja Morant will be away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least their next two games and is promising to get help after livestreaming himself holding what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub. The team announced his absence shortly after the NBA said it opened an investigation into Morant’s social media post early Saturday. The league could fine or suspend him if it finds wrongdoing. Morant said in a statement that he takes “full responsibility” for his actions and that he’s taking “some time away to get help.” He didn’t specify what kind.
