Ja Morant is in a bad light right now.
The Memphis Grizzlies All-Star was caught a few weeks ago holding a gun in the car before it quickly went viral on Twitter.
It’s the second gun-related issue this season for Morant, who was suspended towards the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old afterwards posted several things on Instagram which had people concerned about his mental health.
Former college football star and former NFL running back Ricky Williams said on a recent episode of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz that Morant needs empathy and help.
“Checking on someone’s mental health is not waiting until the mental health has gotten to the place where you’re afraid. Checking on someone’s mental health is caring about what’s going on inside of them. And I think through this whole process with Ja Morant, no one’s really cared. All they’ve cared about is that he’s breaking rules or not on the court.
“You don’t know what’s going on inside of this man’s head. The unfortunate thing about most athletes, is people don’t care unless it’s interfering with their ability to compete. And that, in itself, is not good for our soul. When the only value that people see from us is what we can contribute to their entertainment and they don’t really care about who’s on the inside.”
Morant has been suspended indefinitely by the Grizzlies as he awaits punishment from the NBA.
