Shannon Sharpe’s Words Ring True as Ja Morant Accused of Threatening Teenager With a Gun

Posted on by Jack Marks

Ja Morant is one of the most talented players in the NBA at the moment. Ever since the 23-year-old was drafted as the second overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NBA draft by the Grizzlies, Morant has quickly established himself as one of the best point guards in the league. In the short time that he has been a player in the NBA, Morant already has two NBA all-star selections under his belt. Despite all the fame, success, and talent, Morant’s actions outside the court in recent months have caused concern among fans as well as pundits. 

Earlier in the summer, the 23-year-old was accused of threatening the head of security for a mall after an altercation in the parking lot. However, the case that is being brought to light at the moment is his altercation with a 17-year-old. According to reports, Ja Morant was playing a pickup game near his house with a few individuals. 

Ja Morant finds himself in trouble once again

During a break, the 17-year-old threw the ball at Ja Morant, who was caught unaware and it hit his face. After that, the Grizzlies star punched the child, who immediately fell to the ground. Morant went on to unload multiple more shots on the child while he was on the floor. After that, the 23-year-old went back to his house and came back with a gun visible in the waistband of his pants and his hand on the weapon. 

Following the incident, Morant’s manager shared his thoughts on the situation. He said, “Any and every allegation involving a firearm has been fully investigated and could not be corroborated. This includes the NBA investigation last month, in which they found no evidence. The incident with the teenage boy, Tanner said, “was purely self-defense. Again, after this was fully investigated by law enforcement, they came to the decision not to charge Ja with any crime.”

At this point in time, no arrests have been made in either of the cases Morant has been involved in. For the sake of his career, the 23-year-old will be hoping that this is the last incident of this kind that he is involved in.
