Earlier in the season, Morant was suspended briefly after brandishing a gun on a social media live stream.
This followed other incidents that had him tangled up with the law.
Then, just recently, Morant did it again and another video of him holding a gun went viral for all the wrong reasons.
Morant was promptly suspended by his team as the NBA investigated.
Many reports suggest that Morant may face a lengthy suspension from the league, perhaps even as long as the half of next season.
His entire career and his public image are in jeopardy, all of which must weigh heavily on him.
It’s not clear what Morant will do to repair what he has done.
These posts are definitely concerning and they suggest that Morant is feeling troubled.
Hopefully, he is receiving help to not only assist him with the bad choices he’s made but the mindset he is in.
