Ja Morant Suspended By Grizzlies For Flashing Gun — AGAIN

 

No, this isn't a rehash of old news. Shockingly, embattled Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has once again been caught flashing a gun on Instagram Live — the exact same behavior that got him suspended for what turned out to be eight games late this season. He's now been suspended by the team again. Ja said after his last suspension that he'd learned his lesson... he's 'in a good place.' 

Let's have a look and see how that's going:

It's almost impossible to believe, but the video evidence is there. 

The Grizzlies have suspended him from all team activities.

The NBA is already investigating the incident, and we should expect a suspension from the league as well.  

NBA spokesperson Mike Bass: “We are aware of the social media post involving Ja Morant and are in the process of gathering more information.”

It was just one month ago that Morant appeared on ESPN in an interview with Jalen Rose, apologizing for a "terrible mistake" and saying that he's been getting help from a therapist and that he's all good now. 

Perhaps the most telling statement he makes comes near the end of this clip, when he says, "In the future I'm gonna show everybody who Ja really is."
