Morant has left a counseling program in Florida and moves closer to ramping up for a return to the season now, via the report.

He must wait on the league announcement of findings in the probe, expected soon.

Morant got into trouble recently after he hosted an Instagram live from a nightclub where heshowed a gun to thousands of spectators. The team hassuspended the player.

While he was away from the team facility,a photo was leaked from the nightclub that shows Morant with strip dancers and almost every inch of surface covered in cash.

Several days after the gun incident, Ja announced that he'd be taking time away from basketballto tackle his inner issues. The playerhas entered counseling in Florida.

The player's been entrenched in a public scandal during the last months. Most recently, a story emerged that hepunched a teenager during a basketball gamein his home in Tennessee. After the incident, he allegedly re-emerged from the house with a gun visible in the waistband of his pants and his hand on the weapon.

During the summer, Morant also got involved in averbal altercation with Memphis police in one of the city's malls when he and his friends refused the security guard's demands to leave the mall parking lot.

The Grizzlies star was recently involved in another incident involving a gun. Morant's long-time friend Devonte Packwas banned from attending Grizzlies home gamesat the FedExForum for a year after he verbally abusedIndiana Pacers players during and after the game.
