Even if he keeps his head clean, stays out of trouble, and continues to be as good as he was before this whole gun incident, Ja Morant might never be able to erase it from the fans’ heads. The 23-year-old has supposedly started his journey toward redemption.

Both he and Grizzlies’ head coach Taylor Jenkins have emphasized upon getting some help even if it means he had to take time off the basketball court. He is currently out of action even after serving a two-game ban and being cleared off the case by Colorado Police.

And out of all people, as surprising as might be, FS1 analyst Skip Bayless has raised a supporting hand toward the Grizzlies guard relating to his own troubles when he was a young man.
Skip Bayless relates to Ja Morant and hopes he grows up soon
Maybe someday Ja Morant will have a Eureka moment. For his sake, I hope that day comes sooner than later. It’s time to grow up.

That is surprising, be it he belonged from the mean streets of Oklahoma, nobody could have guessed him to have come out of a troublesome childhood.
However, while the whole basketball has been waiting for Skip himself to grow up someday for decades and finally say things like a sensible person for once, he hopes the same for another person. Ironic!
