Over the course of the past week, Morant published several intimate photographs with his parents and daughter on Instagram. In the images, he appears to be bidding farewell to his loved ones, adding a cryptic “Goodbye” in his final story.
This action sparked immediate worry among fans and insiders alike, with many interpreting the posts as a cause for alarm. The unsettling posts were soon removed from his account, but the seed of doubt and worry had already been planted.
The online community was left grappling with the question: What could the promising young basketball player possibly be indicating with such perplexing posts?

Smith stated, “I for one can tell you that I called the NBA league office; they had no idea what was going on”. Smith continued, explaining that even former teammates of Morant, who had insider knowledge of his habits and the pressures he faces, were equally concerned about his recent actions.

A Troubled Season for Morant
Earlier this year, Morant faced disciplinary action due to an incident involving a firearm, resulting in his suspension from the Memphis Grizzlies.
This led to his absence from eight NBA games, a significant blow to his team given Morant's exceptional performance this season, where he averaged 26 points, eight assists, and six rebounds per game. Despite Morant's impressive individual performances, the Grizzlies' journey in the playoffs was cut short by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round.
