NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has yet to announce the league's decision when it comes to Ja Morant's latest gun controversy, but he addressed claims that Ja was playing with a toy gun while sitting down on "The Dan Patrick Show."
Silver explained that the incident comes down to gun safety, stating, "It's interesting. The very issue for Ja, certainly in the first incident, was treating a gun as a toy. That's what we're talking about, and that's what I think the danger is to society."
He added, "Taking a gun, live streaming it without getting into gun issues in terms of the propriety of owning guns and the use of guns, I think everyone agrees that gun safety is critically important and that guns aren't toys."
Silver ended his statement on the matter by explaining why it doesn't matter whether Morant was playing with a toy gun or a real gun on Instagram.
I"t's something that I'm thinking a lot about because, again, I'm not going to get into specifics about the investigation, but in fact, if you're live streaming something to the world that looks exactly like a gun and in a frankly reckless manner, should it matter whether or not it's a real gun?"
