Nailed it.

[NeedChapmans]

He's gonna lose an entire season. Memphis is big trouble.

[Onepocketj]

Personally I'm shocked that the three day rehab didn't fix everything

[TheHeel]

Stupid guy. He will lose it all.

[brothertona]

Self-destructing, it’s honestly sad to watch. He needs some strong people in his life to talk to him, pull him aside and give him some wisdom. He’s obviously got a group of people around him that only care about that check and could care less about him.

Hey well he got bounced in the 1st round anyway who cares

[mfw13]

Can somebody post a link to an actual news source reporting on whatever Ja did this time....because I can't find anything in any national media.

IG holding a gun in a car ride. Took all of 2 seconds to look it up.

I have a couple of his cards in my collection, but no real vested interest in that aspect. As a fan of the game, I am selfishly disappointed that we will probably never see his true potential play out on the court. As a (somewhat) caring person, I hate to see yet another person making such poor choices!

Heads up...there's more in life than the national media

Nothing illegal about it if he's on private property. The car isn't moving. Even then, it depends on what state he's in. Less than ideal optics, for sure. His friend seemed to know it too.

[dunkindutchmen]

If he's in Tennessee, I don't see what law he's breaking here. Unless the team or Adam Silver gave him some type of warning or ultimatum, I don't see why he would face punishment.

Now, Nike, on the other hand, might just drop him because his popularity was already dipping and he just can't seem to avoid the negative PR.

[CanadianKid]

No one else getting that ya know what way he swings vibe and perhaps all this club/gun foolishness just compensating for it.

If he did face a long suspension with the NBA that'd be his get of jail free card, my bet Jason Collins IG live is next.

I recently discovered TikTok. Please help.

[KhalDrogo]

Suspended indefinitely.

[KhalDrogo]

Do people not realize yet that you don’t have to commit a crime to be suspended by the NBA?

[Kingofkings1281]

Love watching him play. Love the Grizz. But send a message this time. Suspend him for the season.

[Dame]

Suspended from what? It’s the offseason.

People with no moral center like to nitpick the fine degrees of technical legality.

[elontusk1119]

is he gonna claim this is due to "high stress" of the offseason?!

Again, I love the guy. But he needs an actually get hit on this one.

[duron]

There’s a parade inside my city and brainnnnnn

Incidents like these raise a lot of interesting questions given that gun ownership is for the most part completely legal in the USA.

Because from one perspective, although Ja is demonstrating incredibly poor judgment, he is not "at work" or acting in any sort of professional capacity, which raises the question of whether or not his employer should even have the right to discipline him.

How would any of us feel if we got disciplined by our employer for doing something stupid (yet legal) in our private lives?

Also brings up the tangential issue that LEO's are trained to view any sight of a weapon in the hands of an individual as being a threat justifying lethal force, despite the fact that private weapon ownership is legal (as is open carry in many states). How many black kids looking and behaving just like Ja have been shot while engaging in similar (and legal) behavior?

[pingbling23]

Regardless of legality and morally right from wrong ja has to understand the situation. Look how bad the press was and the leagues stance with his last incident. How stupid can you be to have another similar incident in such a short time. You get to be one of the richest people in the world playing a game we all love and you are just pissing on it….

Oh dear God. This is what the CBA is for. Handling issues like this. Whatever punishment he receives will be in accordance with the CBA.
