Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have been dealing with a media storm following his latest gun-related incident.
Ja Morant was seen flashing a gun during an Instagram Live video while at a club. This seemingly occurred after their road loss against the Nuggets in Denver. He is already taking time away from the team, but Morant could face further consequences.
We will see how the Ja Morant situation develops.
There are likely legal consequences because he is an out of state resident viewed in possession of a gun.

“We will see how the Ja Morant situation develops,” wrote Bobby Marks. “There are likely legal consequences because he is an out-of-state resident viewed in possession of a gun.”
Laws surrounding guns and other firearms in the United States Of America differ for each state. So Ja Morant having and flashing a gun in Tennessee might be one thing, but doing it in Colorado could lead to serious legal trouble.
The timing of this could not be worse for Ja Morant. This incident occurred not long after reports emerged of him allegedly threatening a 17-year-old. There was also reporting on an incident involving an altercation with mall security after his mother got into an argument.
Ja Morant is one of the most exciting young superstars in the NBA and that means the league will care a lot about the way he carries himself. They are investigating the incident but no punishment has been announced for him yet. The good thing seems to be that Ja Morant has taken cognizance of his actions after his latest transgression.
Ja Morant Took Responsibility And Apologized For His Actions After Latest Gun Incident
In the many incidents that have been reported recently, Ja Morant has been far from contrite in his response. But something seems to have changed with the latest incident, with Morant issuing an apology after the Memphis Grizzlies announced that they were suspending him for two games.
“I take full responsibility for my actions last night,” Morant’s statement said. “I’m sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, the city of Memphis, and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting you down. I’m going to take some time away to get help and work on better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.”
Nike has acknowledged the incident, and it’s clear that if he doesn’t get his act together, Ja Morant could lose out on a lot of sponsorship money. This could serve as a wake-up call for the young superstar, and fans are hoping that they can soon go back to talking about his incredible plays on the court.
