We spoke with Spencer Haywood out at LAX shortly after 25-year-old Morant was fined for his on-court antics … and he had a powerful message for the two-time All-Star and his internal circle.

“The people that are around him are not advising him right,” Haywood stated. “He’s ruining his career, he’s ruining his family’s life, and his team most importantly, he’s letting them all down. So, I’m just disappointed in Ja.”
Haywood is aware of a factor or two about being among the many NBA’s finest — he was a four-time All-Star throughout his 12-year profession and received a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1980.
He added there’s “no excuse” for utilizing the gun celebration when Morant has a historical past of being suspended for actual firearms — particularly ‘trigger younger children look as much as him.
Haywood — who stated he is aware of Morant personally — is so enthusiastic about it, he needs to deal with Ja immediately about all of it … and talked about he is likely to be going to Memphis on behalf of the league to speak some sense into him.
Regardless of his sturdy stance, Haywood believes Morant can flip it round and put the drama behind him.
The Grizzlies play the Detroit Pistons on Saturday afternoon … and all eyes will doubtless be on Morant as soon as once more — particularly Haywood’s — to see if he triples down on his celly.
