With the NBA and Colorado police investigating how Ja Morant got a gun into a Denver-area strip club, the Grizzlies guard could be set for an 'extended absence,' according to a new report.
Morant was seen flashing a gun at a strip club after a loss last week at the Nuggets, and was suspended for two games before coach Taylor Jenkins said there was no timetable on his return.
