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.
