Taylor Jenkins said that there was no definitive timetable for Ja Morant returning to the Memphis Grizzlies.

The team initially stated on Saturday that Morant would miss at least two games after the point guard was seen showing what appeared to be a gun on an Instagram Live video.

“We have said that it’s going to be at least these two games. I mean, this is going be an ongoing healing process. … It’s really not a timetable situation,” said Jenkins on Sunday.

Jenkins continued to reiterate the team’s support for Morant.

“There’s a supportive element for someone that’s got to get better and needs some help. But then there’s also accountability to the team that we’ve got to stand for,” added Jenkins.

Morant released a statement on Saturday that he was going to take time away from the team to focus on his well-being.

The Brooklyn Nets have received lots of trade interest in forward Cameron Johnson. However, Brooklyn GM Sean Marks has put a high asking price on Johnson in trade talks. Until that changes, expect Johnson to remain with the rebuilding Nets.

Johnson is in the second year of the four-year, $90 million contract he signed with Brooklyn last offseason. He’ll make $23.6 million during the 2024-25 season. In Johnson’s first full season with the Nets, he averaged 13.4 points on 45/39/79 shooting splits and 4.3 rebounds in 58 games.

The Nets kicked off the rebuilding process this offseason. First, Brooklyn reacquired some of their own draft picks from the Houston Rockets that they had dealt in the James Harden trade. Marks then traded Mikal Bridges to the crosstown New York Knicks for a package that included up to five future first-round picks, and a future first-round pick swap.

The Nets are expected to consider trades for the veterans on their roster this season. That includes Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Dennis Schroder and Bojan Bogdanovic, the latter of whom was acquired in the Bridges deal.
