Grizzlies Superstar Ja Morant Flashes Gun At A Party While, Streaming It Live On Social Media
Ja Morant didn’t seem to be avoiding the most recent charges brought against him on Thursday night.
Days after it was claimed that Morant flashed a pistol at a youngster he reportedly struck last summer, the Memphis Grizzlies player reacted with a finger-gun celebration of teammate Desmond Bane’s three-point shot against the Houston Rockets.

I covered Allen Iverson for the first 10 years of his career. He took a lot of hits for the company he kept.
Ja Morant’s fault is his own, and I’m proud of him for owning it.
But he needs to get it together. pic.twitter.com/hDqLYNzmUo

The feed has since been taken down, however there are still internet footage and pictures of the incident. In the tweet that follows, DJ Akademiks shows one that was photographed.
Despite being one of the finest players in the NBA, Morant consistently gets in his own way. It was recently reported the NBA star allegedly assaulted a juvenile and displayed a weapon at him as well. He performed a gun celebration against the Rockets on Friday night. He has been accused of being in a car with someone who flashed a firearm at the Indiana Pacers.
NBA spokesperson Mike Bass says the league is looking into an IG Live video in which Ja Morant appears to flash a gun.

The head of security at a Memphis mall argued with Morant’s crew, according to a police record that was published this week in the Washington Post. The guy said that he felt “threatening” and was assaulted in a parking lot.

In the police report, which was made public by the Washington Post on Wednesday, it was stated that Nether Morant, a 23-year-old All-Star, had allegedly “threatened” a mall security guard in a Memphis parking lot four days prior to his encounter with the teen. Neither Morant nor the Grizzlies have responded to this claim in the public eye.
