Memphis Grizzlies NBA star Ja Morant was suspended by his team for at least two games on Saturday, March 4, after posting a video where he appeared to display a gun in a nightclub.
Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies smiles during the game against the Denver Nuggets on March 3, 2023 at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
That will mean Morant will not play on Sunday against the LA Clippers or Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. In the Instagram Live broadcast in the early hours of Saturday morning, Morant was seen holding up a handgun.“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating,” NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said in a statement on Saturday.
In police records obtained by the Washington Post , the unnamed teenaged boy accused Morant of punching him “12-13 times” during a pickup basketball game at Morant’s Tennessee house in July 2022.
