Multiple members of the Pacers told NBA investigators they saw a red laser dot pointed at them, a person familiar with the details told the Indianapolis Star and USA TODAY Sports.

A Pacers security guard believed the laser was attached to a gun, The Athletic reported.
A league spokesman confirmed to IndyStar and USA TODAY Sports that the league had performed an investigation. Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said "We're aware of the investigation of the NBA," Jenkins told the Memphis Commercial Appeal before Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors."They did a full investigation, we were fully compliant with it and I think they came out with a statement saying nothing was corroborated or found.
Damichael Cole, the Grizzlies beat writer for the Commercial Appeal, reported that Morant and the Pacers' Andrew Nembhard had a confrontation during the Jan. 29 game with the Pacers' James Johnson also getting involved. Davonte Pack, a friend of Morant's, was escorted off the floor. Ja Morant and Andrew Nembhard got into it and eventually James Johnson got involved. Looks like Ja Morant’s friend Davonte Pack was escorted off the floor.
