Ja Morant, a star for the Memphis Grizzlies, issued an apology through his agent on Saturday after releasing a video of himself earlier in the day in which he appeared to be holding a pistol.
The statement read, “I take full responsibility for my conduct last night. I’m sorry for disappointing my family, friends, teammates, coaches, supporters, business partners, the city of Memphis, and the whole Grizzlies organization. I’m going to take some time off to get assistance and concentrate on improving my ability to manage stress and maintain general wellbeing.
Ja Morant would “be gone from the club for at least the next two games,” the NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies had already declared earlier on Saturday.
The top point guard’s Twitter and Instagram accounts have since been shut down.
