Sanders will take the field for the Buffaloes next college football season after shining for Jackson State in the last couple of years. He moved his base after the Buffaloes appointed his father and Dallas Cowboys legend Deion Sanders as their head coach. And he is ready for the new challenge. On the other hand, Morant rejoined the Memphis Grizzlies after serving a suspension. But what exactly was the matter?

The Ja Morant controversy 

The controversy began early in March when Ja Morant brandished a gun during a live-stream from a Colorado strip club. Reports emerged after the incident about a lap dance involving Morant in the same facility. As the controversy raged on, he stepped away from the Grizzlies pending an inquiry.

The NBA suspended Morant for eight games, including the six games he missed voluntarily. He rejoined the team for the game against the Dallas Mavericks later in March.

The controversy has run its course and Morant has come out of it relatively unscathed. The $193 million star is ready for the upcoming playoff after the Grizzlies clinched a spot in the postseason. Is Shedeur Sanders right about the whole controversy? Will Morant leave everything behind to try and clinch an NBA championship ring? Do share your views in the comments.
