Ja Morant Allegedly Flashed Gun, Punched Teen After Pickup Game Fight
It’s not clear if the gun was real or not. An NBA spokesperson said in a statement Saturday morning, “We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating.”
Morant was recently accused of flashing a gun at a teenager following an altercation the two had at his home in Tennessee over the summer.
Cops investigated the claims, and officials ultimately declined prosecution in the case, citing a lack of evidence.
Morant was also recently seen doing a finger gun celebration during a game against the Rockets.
The former Murray State Racer has become an NBA star since he was drafted in 2019 … leading the Grizzlies to two playoff appearances while averaging 22.5 points per game.
