The NBA said they are 'investigating' a social media video that appeared to show Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flashing a gun inside a nightclub
While Morant’s alleged fight with the teenager during a pickup basketball game was previously reported — the boy and his mother Morant in Jan. 2023, at which point the incident became widely known — the report earlier this week revealed new details culled from police interviews, including a claim that Morant threatened the teenager with a gun following the physical altercation.
While Morant didn’t pull the gun on the teen, he had his hand on the firearm, the teenager told police. Morant didn’t deny “brandishing” a weapon at the time of his police interview. Witnesses, however, told police that the teenager “squared up” to fight Morant after the ball-throwing incident, and didn’t mention the gun. No charges were filed against Morant.
Morant’s agent called the allegations against his client “unsubstantiated rumors and gossip,” but the All-Star guard has been exceedingly flippant in the aftermath of thearticle, drawing even more controversy when he pretended to shoot an opponent while celebrating a Grizzlies three-pointer earlier this week:
