Morant’s actions were investigated after a Jan. This is the third known NBA investigation surrounding Morant and the possible involvement of firearms so far in 2023. He has deals with Nike and Powerade, though the sports drink company pulled an ad featuring Morant almost immediately after the March video emerged. Morant’s five-year, $194 million max contract is set to begin this coming season. “Being a leader of this team, it pretty much starts with me. “Being disciplined on both sides, off the court making better decisions and on the court being locked in even more,” Morant said. Morant said in March that he needed to work on himself, and when the season ended a couple weeks ago, he offered similar thoughts. And my concern - and I thought he shared with me - that millions if not tens of millions of kids globally would see him as having done something that was celebrating in a way that act of using a firearm in that fashion.” “And also the acknowledgement that he’s a star. “He could have injured, maimed, killed himself, someone else, with an act like that,” Silver said. At the very brief moment - maybe less than a second - when Morant is shown holding what appears to be a weapon as he sits in the passenger seat of a vehicle, the livestream had 111 viewers.

We’ll figure out exactly what happened there.” The video’s a bit grainy and all that, but I’m assuming the worst. “We’re in the process of investigating it and we’ll figure out exactly what happened as best as we can. “Honestly, I was shocked when I saw, this weekend, that video,” Silver said in a televised interview with ESPN before the draft lottery in Chicago. Silver handed down an eight-game suspension in March there is no way of knowing yet what penalties Morant may face this time.

“Fitzy was loved around here and you’ve seen what he’s done now he’s left. “He reminds me of Fitzy so much,” Keary said of Ryles. Roosters players backed Ryles to be a success when asked on Monday, with Luke Keary comparing him to former assistant and current Cronulla coach Craig Fitzgibbon. Ryles is the Dragons’ primary target for their next full-time coach, after Craig Bellamy’s decision to remain at the Melbourne Storm in 2024 freed up the highly rated Roosters assistant to explore his options.īut he could yet see out his contract with the Chooks next year if he believes he could succeed Bellamy at the Storm for the 2025 season. “Unfortunately our performances over the first 10 games of this season have not met the club’s expectations so it was decided he should finish up his duties this week.” Anthony Griffin is out as Dragons coach. “These decisions are never taken lightly and on behalf of the club I want to thank Anthony for all his hard work during his time at the Dragons,” chief executive Ryan Webb said. Griffin, the 56-year-old former Broncos and Panthers coach, took over at St George Illawarra ahead of the 2021 season but was unable to lead the club to the finals.Ī 2-8 start to the season, including an ongoing six-game losing streak, spelled the end of his tenure.
