Ja Morant will be away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least their next two games, the team said Saturday in a move that came not long after the NBA opened an investigation into a social media post by the guard after he livestreamed himself holding what appeared to be a gun at a club.
The video was streamed by Morant to his Instagram page, and it was not archived once he stopped the stream. The Grizzlies played in Denver on Friday night; they fly to Los Angeles on Saturday for games against the Clippers on Sunday and the Lakers on Tuesday.“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said Saturday.
This is at least the second time in the last few weeks that Morant has been the subject of a league investigation. Morant's actions were investigated by the league after a Jan. 29 incident in Memphis that he said led to a friend of his being banned from home games there for a year. Morant responded to that incident by tweeting that the reports “paint this negative image on me and my fam. & banned my brother from home games for a year. unbelievable.” During the Jan. 29 game, there was barking between Pacers players and friends of Morant seated along the sideline. A close friend of Morant's, Davonte Pack, was escorted from the arena as Pacers bench players shouted in Pack's direction.
The suspension followed Arenas getting photographed before a game in Philadelphia playfully pointing his index fingers in a gun imitation at his teammates while he was under investigation by federal and local authorities after admittedly bringing guns into the Wizards' locker room.Morant, the No. 2 pick in the 2019 NBA draft, has become a full-fledged superstar.
