Ja Morant once again finds himself in a major controversy after reportedly showing a gun during an Instagram Live again. It came as a huge shock to many as Morant was suspended eight games a few weeks back by the NBA for a similar incident. The point guard is one of the best young talents in the league with massive potential. So, a lot of people were disappointed and are concerned about his future including rival star Draymond Green. He recently talked about the whole situation along with commissioner Adam Silver’s statement.

Green and the Golden State Warriors have a massive rivalry with the Memphis Grizzlies. The four-time NBA champion has had some fiery moments when playing against the Grizzlies. Despite this, he was worried about Morant.

Draymond Green could not understand the actions of Ja Morant

Draymond Green is back in full swing with his podcast ‘The Draymond Green Show’ after elimination in the playoffs. In the latest episode of the show, the 2017 Defensive Player of the Year gave his thoughts about the Ja Morant controversy. Green started off by speaking about Adam Silver’s reaction to the issue.

He said, “I saw Adam Silver speaking. Adam Silver looked crushed! He sounded crushed. I know he is.” The forward noted that he knows Silver is disappointed because he has always been a players’ commissioner. He added the situation has put Silver in a very tough spot. Also, Green was distressed there could be a “substantial” penalty for Ja this time.

The four-time NBA All-Star said that he is neither going to slate the 2022 MIP nor condone his actions. However, he could not fathom Morant’s activity on social media. Green stated, “I just don’t understand why they’re on Instagram Live so much. I just don’t get it. Hey by the way, once you were in trouble the first time on Instagram Live, you guys probably should stay away from Instagram Live.”
