while we're baselessly speculating "a counseling program in florida" sure sounds like alcohol rehab

could be any number of things but that does seem the most likely

oof
With news that Ja Morant has entered counseling in Florida, it's hard to imagine him making All-NBA, which I think would have been likely without these incidents. Not making All-NBA would cost him about $39 million, reducing his contract from a projected 5/$233m to 5/$194m— Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) March 14, 2023

expensive rehab

Have been speaking with Ja throughout this & it’s really great to see he’s working through being better in counseling. Last week he texted me this clip we did in 2021 and we talked about the need to take care of yourself. Passing along that he sees the support and is thankful. https://t.co/tUp0zGnZjc— Taylor Rooks (@TaylorRooks) March 14, 2023

I'm going to tell you guys when I'm just about to throw the Wolves in the dumpster and then you bet on them to win that night, you can't go wrong

How to tell when you’re on a heater: off the dribble, stepping to your right, going R-L, with a defender within 2 inches of blocking the shot. Doesn’t matter. pic.twitter.com/Rx1DUlgQ4T— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) March 14, 2023

kyrie was publicly lighting nike up tho lol. theres no coming back from that. nike is already planning the redemption story for ja im sure .

nike has been through waaaay worse than this... kobe, tiger woods, a rod etc. the best PR crisis consultants prob don't even need to move off the couch to deal w/ ja's level of offenses

idk if there's another shoe on its way i just feel like "i'm taking time to address my mental health after several high profile incidents of increasingly concerning bad behavior but i'm all good now just in time for the playoffs" is not really a tenable position if we're supposed to believe that any of this is being taken seriously on ja's and memphis' side

seems like spears was hinting at the other shoe tho

it seems like he's genuinely done whatever work has been asked of him to repair the situation, i don't really have an issue w/ him getting another job in the NBA

watching the bucks smother devin booker and chris paul… their defense is hellacious. sometimes a guy is trying to score on jrue with giannis and brook helping, it’s an impossible task. in games where crowder is hitting threes jrue-middleton-crowder-giannis-brook is prob the best 5 man line up in the league. maybe in games where they aren’t shooting well they can be got… jrue and crowder do run pretty hot and cold. but that’s still a really solid amount of shooting around giannis and on defense they completely suffocate you

i think they'll find some ring chasers this offseason but i just dont see it coming together this season for them. its possible cos the west is open and they have the top-end talent, but unlikely without time to gel.

It's a league that relies heavily on star power to generate its revenue. Ja is a star player and the playoffs provide the biggest payoffs.
