NBA: Grizzlies star Ja Morant returns to practice after suspension

"Obviously, I've been there for two weeks, but that doesn't mean I'm completely better," Morant said.
"So that's an ongoing process for me that I've still been continuing since I've come out."
While the NBA said Morant had been in an "intoxicated" state in the video posted online, the Grizzlies star said he does not have an alcohol problem.
"Never had an alcohol problem," Morant said. "I went for counseling to learn how to manage stress, cope with stress in a positive way instead of ways I've tried to deal with it before that caused me to make mistakes."
Morant added that he regretted the fact that the furore had overshadowed Memphis' season in the past month.
"I've made mistakes in the past that cause a lot of negative attention -- not only to me, but my family as well, my team, the organization. I'm completely sorry for that," said Morant.
"My job now is to be more responsible, more smarter, and don't cause any of that no more."
