Suspended Grizzlies star Ja Morant's nightclub incident could cost him $39 million: report
Ja Morant has quickly become a superstar. The Memphis Grizzlies guard has a unique skill set and is often the most gifted athlete on the basketball court on any given night.
His high-flying slam dunks have taken the internet by storm over the past couple of years, and he has helped lift his team to multiple playoff appearances and a division title. Last July, the Grizzlies rewarded Morant with a five-year supermax contract extension.
The contract included incentives which entitled Morant to nearly a quarter-billion dollars if he met certain thresholds this season.

Now, Morant has garnered a significant amount of attention on the internet, but for reasons that have nothing to do with his on the court feats.
Morant briefly flashed a handgun at a strip club near Denver in an Instagram Live video on March 4. The ensuing fallout resulted in an eight-game suspension without pay for conduct detrimental to the league, the NBA announced Wednesday.
But the impact of Morant’s actions could further cost the star athlete an estimated $39 million.
JA MORANT BREAKS SILENCE ON VIRAL VIDEO WHERE HE FLASHED GUN AT CLUB: ‘NOT WHO I AM’
Per an NBA rule known as the “Derrick Rose Rule,” a team can pay 30% of its salary cap to any player that signs a maximum Designated Rookie extension, if that player meets certain qualifications.
The select qualifications include a player winning the MVP award, two Defensive Player of the Year awards in the past three seasons or two All-NBA team appearances. At least one of those qualifications has to be met before the max contract kicks in for the player to receive the salary bump.
Morant already has one appearance on the All-NBA team to his credit, and appeared to be on his way to a second appearance until the incident earlier this month.
According to Spotrac, a second All-NBA team appearance would result in the value of Morant’s extension jumping from $194 million to $233 million.
The issue is that Morant might not play in enough games this season to qualify for an All-NBA team. If he plays in every remaining game after he returns from his suspension, Morant would finish the season with 65 games played.
“I feel like in the past we didn’t know what was at stake,” Morant said during a sit-down interview with ESPN’s Jalen Rose on Wednesday.
The Grizzlies have managed to hold onto the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference while Morant has been away from the team. Memphis is hoping to make a deep playoff run this upcoming postseason — with the help of Morant.

Pichardo joined the USA Baseball Women’s National Team last summer and was an intern for the New York Mets in their amateur scouting department. She also participated in the Friendship Series against Team Canada in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, over the summer.
Pichardo became the first woman on a Division I roster.
FOUR GAMES TO WATCH ON DAY 2 OF NCAA TOURNAMENT
“I’m living out my dream right now and the ideal college experience that I’ve always wanted, so that’s really cool,” Pichardo said when she made the team.
“Olivia put together the most complete walk-on tryout I have seen from a player since becoming a head coach,” head coach Grant Achilles said at the time.
She threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Mets on Women’s Day at Citi Field in August.
Pichardo was a varsity high school player at Garden School in the seventh grade.

Drag queen book event in New York City now has competition: Libs of TikTok creator will host one for families
Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichik has decided to host an alternative book event to one that’s reportedly occurring this weekend in New York City.
Writing on Twitter, Raichik shared with followers, “NY AG Letitia James is hosting a drag story hour for kids this Sunday.”
So, added Raichik, “I decided to host my own story hour down the street from hers! Protect your kids and come hear an important message at an event that’s actually family friendly.“
‘LIBS OF TIKTOK’ CREATOR CHAYA RAICHIK NOW HELPING FAMILIES TO ‘SPOT PREDATORY BEHAVIOR’
She included a snapshot of a poster from the Letitia James event.
That notice announces in part, “Families with children are invited to join Attorney General James, drag storytellers, and city and state elected leaders.”
The event, according to the notice, is being held on Sunday, March 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Eleven local legislators’ names are listed on the document.
Here is what Raichik shared on Twitter on Wednesday evening with her followers.
Chaya Raichik will be holding her alternative book event on Sunday as well.
Together with Trent Talbot, CEO of Brave Books, which publishes books for children, she’s holding a story hour for families and children also in New York City during the same time period as the drag queen story event.
In her tweet, she includes a poster of herself saying, “NYC is hosting drag story hour … but why don’t you come to a REAL story hour.”
Raichik also wrote on Twitter earlier, “Our tax dollars are being used by government officials to fund and promote the sexualization of our children.”
As Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday, March 14, James recently announced she and other state elected officials will be hosting a drag event geared toward families.
On her Instagram page, James shared a flier for the event, titled “Drag Story Hour NYC with New York State Attorney General Letitia James.”
The flier indicated that the politician would like children to attend the event.
In the caption for the Instagram post, James declared, “My office is proud to host a Drag Story Hour read-a-thon on Sunday.”
The ad also featured several groups that are co-sponsoring the event put on by drag group “Drag Story Hour NYC” and the lawmaker.
Among them are The Pride Center of Staten Island, Queens Public Library, Brooklyn Public Library and Destination Tomorrow, a grassroots LGBTQ organization in the Bronx.

Raichik, who founded the anti-woke social media account Libs of TikTok, is publishing her first children’s book this month.
“I wanted to [take] the next step, which is to give parents and children a tool that they can use to actually be able to spot predatory behavior,” she said in a statement shared earlier with Fox News Digital.
Raichik’s illustrated children’s book, “No More Secrets: The Candy Cavern,” tells the story of Rose, a second-grade lamb.
Raichik has spent the past few years tweeting TikTok videos of liberals talking about gender identity and other cultural issues. She has nearly two million followers on the platform.
