There is great attention from the whole world regarding gun-related violence and we want to accompany Ja in this path of responsibility and awareness: it’s an opportunity for everyone to learn something new and we can come out better together.” The head coach, the only member of the entire Grizzlies organization to sit in front of a microphone and talk, was clear: no discount for Morant, who will have to understand his own lightness and above all evaluate the seriousness of the gestures committed and the messages sent to its audience.
