Ja Morant will be back next season 🙌🏀

Now that the NBA Finals are finally over and the Denver Nuggets have conquered the Miami Heat, it's time for the drama of summer to begin. NBA commissioner Adam Silver had announced a few weeks back that they had come to a conclusion on Ja's suspension. This would not be revealed until the Finals and all Finals celebrations were complete.

The time has finally come and to my surprise, Ja only got suspended for 25 games for his second gun on IG live incident of the year. Part of me was nervous that he would be suspended for the entire year, but thank goodness that was not the case.

In today's video, I will be talking about the Ja Morant suspension and what I think it means for his career. He is without a doubt my favorite player in the NBA and by far the most exciting guy to watch on the court. I still have faith that he can find a way to become the face of the NBA for many years to come.

If you want more written details about the Ja suspensions, here is an article from ESPN with full details.

Ja will be suspended without pay for 25 games. If you are curious how much money he will be losing, then look no further than this article. To put it plainly, Morant recently signed a five-year, $192 million contract extension that begins on July 1, with his 2023-2024 pay right around $33.5 million, meaning he'll lose $304k per game or $7.6 million over the course of 25 games. OUCH! Those pockets must be aching. I hope he has been managing his money in a smart way, but I have a feeling that he probably has not been. He'll be fine and back to making the big bucks in no time.
