ESPN reporter Malika Andrews was the subject of some social media backlash on Tuesday after she asked NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about the Ja Morant gun-flashing video, which led to the Memphis Grizzlies star’s latest suspension over the weekend. Andrews asked Silver about his meeting with Morant after the Grizzlies guard was suspended the first time for flashing a gun in a Denver nightclub. The Grizzlies suspended Morant from all team activities as the NBA launched an investigation into the situation.
