Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has been catching heat after being accused of punching a 17-year-old repeatedly in the head during a pick-up basketball game at his Memphis home in July 2022 then allegedly threatened a head of security at a Memphis mall after his mother got into a dispute with an employee at a Finish Line store.
Now it seems the saga continues as the Grizzlies released a statement saying that they are suspending Ja Morant for AT LEAST two games after the Grizzlies star went viral in a video allegedly showing off a gun on his IG Live.
