In a turn of events that is both surprising and not, Ja Morant is already in some hot water again. After a torrid season marred by behavioral incidents off the court, Morant’s offseason has begun on another poor note.
Ja Morant was reprimanded by the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies after the first incident in which he flashed a gun on Instagram. Now, despite all that’s happened, Morant has gone ahead and done it again. And NBA fans are destroying him for it.

This is a terrible look for Ja Morant, especially considering that he has seemingly understood the negative impact of his actions after the initial backlash. The NBA has very strict rules related to guns and their stars, and repeated offenses could be a problem, even for a talent like Morant. One fan put it more simply.
LMFAOO BRO WANTS TO RETIRE EARLY

There is nothing anyone else will be able to do if Ja Morant doesn’t rein in his antics. The fact that this is happening so soon after the last incident is a bad sign, and Ja has forgotten how bad the situation has become.

Ja Morant’s decisions already cost him a supermax contract, and it is hard to imagine that he won’t lose a few endorsements after this as well. While he didn’t learn the last time, maybe this time will be different, as this fan hopes.
Oh mannn… he just didn’t learn his lesson last time 🤦♂️ (hopefully he will now because it’s going to hurt his endorsements and contracts)

While there are a lot of takes on the matter that involve people giving Morant advice, there are just as many that seem to be losing faith in him. This is difficult to understand, and this fan’s comment summed up what a lot of people are thinking.

The NBA and the Grizzlies will both likely investigate this situation, but there’s no way to say how they will respond. In the meanwhile, the video and pictures are circulating rapidly across the NBA world, and not many are supporting Morant.
Ja Morant Could Be In Line For A Massive Suspension
Ja Morant was kept out for just eight games after his first transgression, and this is despite there being so many other incidents involving him. The NBA is harsh on repeat offenders, and Morant can expect to walk away with a much heftier punishment for this one.
This is bad news for fans of the Memphis Grizzlies, Ja doesn’t have much control over himself. He is the face of the franchise, but he is far from anyone’s favorite person at the moment. It would be a shame to see issues like this derail an incredibly promising career.
