A new controversy has exploded when it comes to Ja Morant after he was seen with a gun on Instagram once again. Coming off the heels of a similar scandal during the season, it was always going to be a massive problem for Ja.
Unsurprisingly, the Memphis Grizzlies announced that the team has suspended Ja Morant from all activities. He is likely taking a break now at the moment anyway, but a serious punishment from the NBA is likely if an investigation proves that the video is legitimate. And fans had some intense reactions to the whole situation.
Ja is done. Nice move signing the kid @Nike

Many people think Ja Morant might have done too much harm to his career with this move. While it is very likely to result in massive backlash though, it remains to be seen how much it will impact Morant. And some think that he won’t be too fazed by all this just yet.
He will be back soon. Unless endorsements start leaving, he won’t change.

At this point, it is hard to tell if Ja Morant is doing this on purpose or if this is another blunder. One fan has his answer though, questioning the Grizzlies star’s intelligence.
He probably the dumbest player in the NBA right now just straight up stupid

The Memphis Grizzlies got bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers. And Morant might get himself into trouble with his employers while technically not even being employed, as one fan hilariously addressed.
Imagine getting suspended during your summer vacation lmfao

Outside of his antics, Ja Morant is among the best young players in the league. But the questions about whether his controversies are worth his talents are starting to be asked. And a fan thinks the Grizzlies might want to move on from his early.
Grizzlies have to at least consider trading Ja at this point. They could probably get a ton still before he tanks his value.

More than anything, every time this happens, it is a truly sad story. Ja Morant is too talented and too young to be messing up his career, and that’s what everyone is really afraid of.

Ja Morant Could Now Lose More Than The $39 Million He Already Lost
Ja Morant didn’t make any of the All-NBA teams after his many controversies this season, especially his suspension thanks to flashing a gun. This cost him $39 million in terms of the contract he could have had without any of the off-field issues.
The fact that he has done this again means Ja Morant could get a much harsher punishment. And if he misses serious game time because of it, then that will result in Morant losing more money than he already has.
