Grizzlies not setting timetable for Morant to return after video

There’s no timetable for Ja Morant to return to the Memphis Grizzlies, and the All-star guard knows he has made “difficult decisions and poor choices” that he has to be held accountable for, coach Taylor Jenkins said Sunday night.

Morant was not with the team in Los Angeles for games against the Clippers on Sunday and the Lakers on Tuesday while the NBA investigates a social media post in which Morant appeared to be holding a gun.

“Very tough moment, for sure,” Jenkins said of the video.

Morant streamed a video on his Instagram account early Saturday of himself holding what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub, several hours after playing a game in Denver. He said in a statement through the agency that represents him that he takes “full responsibility” for his actions and that he was going to “take some time away to get help.”

On Monday, police in Colorado said they were investigating Morant’s actions and whether he may have broken any laws.

Capt. Jamie Dillon said police did not receive any calls or complaints about Morant’s actions but began looking into them Saturday after learning about the video circulating online.

The Grizzlies coach said Morant understands he’s made “some difficult decisions and poor choices in the past.”

“He’s definitely embracing the mistakes that he’s made, but only time will tell,” jenkins said. “We’re going to support him and we’re going to hold him accountable to make those changes.”

Jenkins declined to outline the steps Morant needs to take to rejoin the team.
