NBA Commissioner Adam Silver provided an optimistic update on Ja Morant at a recent meeting with media, as reported by Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
"He and I have checked in with each other over the course of the season, but more importantly, working with the players'
association, we have regular check-ins with him and his team around him and have done that throughout the year," Silver stated.
"Every report has come back quite positive.
Silver continued, "Working with the team and his personal management, having a stronger support team around him seems to be making a difference in his life."
According to Cole, NBA executive vice president Joe Dumars also commented, saying, "This is a young guy who has made some mistakes,
but I will say this: when he came into this office and met with Adam, myself, and a couple of other people, he owned it."
He didn't sit there making excuses or saying, 'No, I didn't.' He admitted it and accepted his sentence.
