Morant released a statement late Tuesday night to address his latest controversy. A similar incident in March resulted in an eight-game suspension. "I know I've disappointed a lot of people who have supported me.

This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do," he said, via ESPN. "My words may not mean much right now, but I take full responsibility for my actions.
