LOS ANGELES — Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins says there's no timetable for Ja Morant to return to the team. The two-time All-Star isn't in Los Angeles for games against the Clippers and Lakers while the NBA investigates a social media post in which Morant appeared to be holding a gun. Jenkins describes the video as a "very tough moment." The coach says Morant knows he's made "difficult decisions and poor choices" that he has to be accountable for. The 23-year-old guard was the subject of another league investigation in recent weeks but nothing came of it.
