ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith made an alarming comment about Grizzlies star Ja Morant during an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show” this week.
Smith told Eisen that people inside NBA circles are worried about Morant’s well-being. Apparently, there is genuine concern over whether or not he’ll be alive in five years from now.
“I can tell you that people within the NBA community are not just concerned about Ja Morant playing basketball. They’re concerned about whether or not he’s going to be alive in 5 years because of the environments that he finds himself around and the situations he finds himself confronted by,” Smith said. “It’s a serious matter and it’s something that I think the NBA and everybody that knows anything about the kind of things that are going on with him find themselves concerned about.”
Eisen was understandably shocked by this comment.

Morant is facing discipline from the NBA for flashing what appeared to be a gun on Instagram Live for the second time in the past few months.
On Thursday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed why Morant hasn’t been suspended just yet.
“We’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information,” Silver said. “We probably could have brought it to a head now, but we’ve made the decision that it would be unfair to these players and these teams to announce that decision in the middle of this series.”
Hopefully, Morant learns from his mistakes and gets his life back on track. No one wants to see him throw away his career – and maybe his life – because of stuff like this.
