Involved in several controversies throughout the season, Ja Morant was suspended from the Grizzlies and the NBA last March for showing himself with a gun on a live Instagram. Today is May 14, 2023, and a similar scenario just happened once more…
“I made a big mistake”, “I take full responsibility for my actions”, “I know what I have to lose”, “my problems have affected the team this season, I have to be more discipline”.
All these quotes, they are signed Ja Morant, eager to get back on the right track following the episode of the live Insta a few months ago. Anyway, that’s what we thought.
This weekend, the Grizzlies superstar was seen with a gun once more in an Instagram video. The only difference was that he wasn’t in a nightclub near Denver, but in the passenger seat of a car with US Rap on the soundtrack.

The sanctions did not take long to fall. Shams Charania of The Athletic was the first to throw out the info (later confirmed by the Memphis franchise): Ja Morant has been suspended by the Grizzlies for all team activities! As for the NBA, it has taken note of the file and continues for the moment to gather as much information as possible. Well, we have the impression of having already heard that somewhere…
Ja Morant has been suspended from all Grizzlies activities following the Memphis star was seen flashing an apparent gun in recent social media video.

For the moment, we have no details on when or where the video was shot. We also don’t know if it’s Morant’s gun or not. But one thing is certain: following all the controversy that has surrounded Ja this season and particularly the story of the gun last March, to do it once more is the stupidest act he might do.
Tain but I just saw the video of Ja Morant on IG it’s maddening stupidity.
How can you, there following what happened. It’s stupid as can be.

As a reminder, two months ago, Ja Morant joined a psychological support program in Florida, following the episode of Live Instagram that caused his suspension. Obviously, Morant has not learned from his mistakes since, mistakes that still cost him nearly $ 40 million since his absence from the field prevented him from joining an All-NBA Team at the end of the season.
We now wonder what other consequences will follow this new controversy…
