Adam Silver addressed the NBA's investigation into Ja Morant in which the Memphis Grizzlies guard was on social media for the second time this year flashing a firearm.

Silver said the NBA has uncovered "additional information" and that no punishment will be announced during The Finals.

"So in assessing what discipline is appropriate, if that's the case, we look at both the history of prior acts, but then we look at the individual player's history, as well," said Silver. "And the seriousness, of course, of the conduct. Those are all 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.

"In terms of the timing, we've uncovered a fair amount of additional information, I think, since I was first asked about the situation. I will say we probably could have brought it to a head now, but we made the decision, and I believe the Players Association agrees with us, that it would be unfair to these players and these teams in the middle of the series to announce the results of that investigation.

"Given that we're of course in the offseason, he has now been suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies indefinitely, so nothing would have changed anyway in the next few weeks. It seemed better to park that at the moment, at least any public announcement, and my sense now is that shortly after the conclusion of the Finals we will announce the outcome of that investigation."
