Ja Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York on Wednesday.
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant met with NBA commissioner Adam Silver in New York today, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Morant has left a counseling program in Florida and moves closer to ramping up for a return to the season now, via the report.
He must wait on the league announcement of findings in the probe, expected soon.
Morant got into trouble recently after he hosted an Instagram live from a nightclub where he showed a gun to thousands of spectators. The team has suspended the player.
While he was away from the team facility, a photo was leaked from the nightclub that shows Morant with strip dancers and almost every inch of surface covered in cash.
Several days after the gun incident, Ja announced that he'd be taking time away from basketball to tackle his inner issues. The player has entered counseling in Florida.
The player's been entrenched in a public scandal during the last months. Most recently, a story emerged that he punched a teenager during a basketball game in his home in Tennessee. After the incident, he allegedly re-emerged from the house with a gun visible in the waistband of his pants and his hand on the weapon.
During the summer, Morant also got involved in a verbal altercation with Memphis police in one of the city's malls when he and his friends refused the security guard's demands to leave the mall parking lot.
The Grizzlies star was recently involved in another incident involving a gun. Morant's long-time friend Devonte Pack was banned from attending Grizzlies home games at the FedExForum for a year after he verbally abused Indiana Pacers players during and after the game. Although the Pacers believed a gun was pointed at them after the game, the NBA denied it in their report.
