The National Basketball Players Association issued a firm statement in support of Ja Morant on Friday on the heels of the Grizzlies star receiving a 25-game suspension for holding a gun on Instagram Live in May.
NBPA executive director Tamika Tremaglio labeled the discipline imposed on Morant as “excessive” and “inappropriate,” citing specifically the NBA’s requirement of the 23-year-old to fulfill unstated conditions before he can return.
Tremaglio also declared the NBPA’s intent to work with Morant going forward as he deals with the discipline.

Nearly two decades ago, Samoa Joe and CM Punk elevated Ring of Honor to a whole new level of notoriety.
They are now afforded the same opportunity with Collision, AEW’s newest show, which will debut Saturday night on TNT.
For the first time since 2005, Samoa Joe and Punk will wrestle one another. They embarked upon wildly different journeys, but the destination has brought them right back where they started: standing across from one another in the same ring.

Ali Krieger’s career is one most soccer players dream of, with two World Cups to her name, among other impressive accolades. Now, after nearly 20 years of professional soccer, Krieger has decided this season with the NWSL’s NJ/NY Gotham FC will be her last, announcing her retirement from the sport.

Jordan Spieth isn’t playing badly on Friday in the U.S. Open, but he still dropped a very loud F-Bomb that microphones easily captured.
Jordan Spieth is not having a good time at Los Angeles Country Club for the 123rd U.S. Open. The language has been relatively clean throughout the first day and a half of coverage, but Spieth broke that streak with a massive F-bomb after hitting an approach shot at the par-5 8th.
At first, he seemed to like the shot because there was a slight club twirl, but the foul language suggested otherwise.
Nine-year NBA veteran Tony Snell was interviewed by Craig Melvin of the Today show on NBC on Friday and announced his recent diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
Snell went and saw a doctor after his 18-month-old son, Carter, who was missing developmental milestones, was tested for the disorder. Carter’s diagnosis was a lightbulb moment for Snell, who said that he always felt different from others but didn’t know why.
“I was always independent growing up, always been alone,” Snell began.
After a month of playing the waiting game, the NBA officially announced on Friday that Ja Morant will be suspended without pay for 25 games next season following his second gun incident of the year. Many have wondered whether or not Morant’s boneheaded off-court decisions would cost him any of his many endorsement deals, but Nike has made it clear that it’s not going anywhere.
Shortly after the NBA announced Morant’s suspension, Nike shared a statement with ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
All pitching arms are different, and in the case of Stanford left-hander Quinn Mathews, so is his brain.
Remember, Stanford is in Silicon Valley in northern California. People are just techno smarter there, unless, of course, you are former Stanford chemical engineering major Elizabeth Holmes. She began an 11-year prison sentence in Bryan, Texas, on May 30 for defrauding investors of hundreds of millions of dollars via her “magic” blood testing company Theranos that was supposed to change the medical world.
In his first interview since the backstage brawl with his colleagues that led to his suspension, AEW wrestler CM Punk said he regrets how he handled the situation and has apologized to CEO and president Tony Khan.
During a press conference following the All Out pay-per-view in September, Punk took aim at AEW wrestlers and executive vice presidents Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), alleging that they had leaked inaccurate information to the media. (Punk called them “irresponsible people who call themselves EVPs and couldn’t f-–ing manage a Target.
