It looks like Ja Morant just can’t stay away from trouble as he was suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday after he appeared to be holding a gun in another social media video that was streamed live on Instagram.
It’s the second time in three months that he was seen on social media holding what appeared to be a weapon. The first video led to an eight-game NBA suspension.
It’s unclear what sanctions Morant may face for the second video, which was captured Saturday night and widely shared online.
