Just two months after Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was suspended for flashing a gun on social media, he allegedly did it again
In early March, following a Grizzles game versus the Denver Nuggets, Morant shared an Instagram Live video from inside a Denver nightclub where he flashed a gun at the camera. Both the team and the NBA suspended Morant, who then enrolled in a Florida counseling program before he was allowed to make his return to the court in late-March. Denver police declined to charge Morant over the incident.
“It’s not who I am. I don’t condone any type of violence, but I take full responsibility for my actions,” a then-repentant Morant told ESPN in an interview following the incident. “I made a bad mistake. I can see that the image I painted of myself with my recent mistakes, but in the future, I’ma show everybody who Ja really is, what I’m about, and change this narrative.”
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement at the time of Morant’s reinstatement, “Ja’s conduct was . It also has serious consequences given his enormous following and influence, particularly among young fans who look up to him. He has expressed sincere contrition and remorse for his behavior.”
