NBA Commissioner Adam Silver revealed Thursday that the league’s investigation into Ja Morant’s latest incident with a firearm could "come to a head" now, but the league is going to wait until the NBA Finals are over. 

Morant is currently suspended indefinitely from the Memphis Grizzlies as the league underwent an investigation into the All-Star waving a firearm on an Instagram Live yet again. This time, it was on his friend, Davonte Pack’s, account, while his first incident came on his own Instagram while intoxicated inside a Denver nightclub during the regular season. 

Silver was asked about Morant ahead of Game 1 in Denver between the Nuggets and Miami Heat, where he first laid out what goes into the league’s decision.

"In assessing what discipline is appropriate, if that’s the case, we look at both the history of prior acts," Silver said. "But then we look at individual player’s history as well and the seriousness, of course, of the conduct. So, those are all the things that get factored. It’s not an exact science. It comes down to judgment at the end of the day on the part of me and my colleagues in the league office."

Silver then discussed the timing of the investigation’s findings going public, which he says will likely come after the series between the Nuggets and Heat ends because it "would be unfair" to those fighting for the Larry O’Brien Trophy.

"In terms of the timing, we’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information," Silver said. "Since I was still asked about the situation, I would say we probably could’ve brought it to a head now, but we made the decision and I believe the Players Association agrees with us, that it would be unfair to these players and these teams in the middle of this series to announce the results of that investigation."

"It’s better to park that at the moment, at least any public announcement, and my sense now is that shortly after the conclusion of the Finals."

Morant’s current suspension from his team, and the fact that the Grizzlies are no longer playing, factored into the decision to hold the public announcement on his punishment.

Morant was seen on Pack’s Instagram Live flashing a firearm quickly before the camera panned away from him. The Grizzlies wasted no time suspending him after dealing with the Denver incident during the season, which also resulted in a league suspension.

Silver did previously say in an interview at the NBA Draft Lottery that he expects the worst to come down on Morant following the investigation. He had met with Morant following the first incident and believed him to be remorseful, though a repeat offense may have his mind changed.

"I know I've disappointed a lot of people who have supported me," Morant said in a statement recently. "This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do," Morant said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "My words may not mean much right now, but I take full responsibility for my actions. I'm committed to continuing to work on myself."

Morant was named an All-Star for the second consecutive year during the 2022-2023 regular season. He averaged 26.2 points per game with 8.1 assists and 5.9 rebounds in 61 games.

NHL star winger Patrick Kane underwent hip resurfacing surgery on Thursday that will require four to six months of recovery before being allowed back on the ice.

Kane noted this past Stanley Cup Playoffs with the New York Rangers was tough as he dealt with a lingering injury that we now know was his hip. 

Kane, at times, looked like a shell of his offense-creating self and wasn’t the X-factor the Rangers hoped he’d be when they traded for him with the Chicago Blackhawks before the NHL trade deadline.

Now, Kane is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NHL career after spending his first 16 seasons with the Blackhawks, earning four All-Star nods and winning three Stanley Cups in the process, before being traded this past February.

Kane, 34, could now see his free-agent pursuit affected after needing this surgery. However, as The Athletic points out, Kane believes he can get back to his old self if he’s not busy worrying about how his body is holding up.

"I still know that I can be a top player if my focus is solely on hockey instead of how I feel that day," Kane said last month.

There’s no doubt that Kane, who has 1,237 career points with 451 goals and 786 assists, will have teams interested. He’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer when his career is over, and teams could use the Buffalo, N.Y., native’s savvy when the puck is on his stick in the offensive zone.

The Rangers may want him to run it back with them, however, how much they shell out for someone like Kane who might not be available to start the season would likely be low.

In fact, Kane’s price tag may be lower than his accolades say because of the injury history.

Nonetheless, Kane’s surgery is fixing an issue that didn’t allow him to play his best when it mattered most in the playoffs (the Rangers were bounced in the first round to the rival New Jersey Devils).

NHL free agency officially starts July 1.
