Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is having a speculated career of his lifetime. The All-Star in just 4 seasons averaging 22.4 points per game has created a big impact in the NBA.
As for his personal life, the father of a child has been in a lot of controversies because of his aggressive behavior and dominant personality, as well as legal issues, including weapon access.
In March 2023, Morant was held accountable for flashing a gun at a strip club in the Denver Suburbs, the video of which was taken by the NBA player himself and went live on his Instagram account.
With no criminal charges put up, Morant was suspended for 8 games in NBA, costing him nearly $669,000 in salary. The act was considered irresponsible and reckless to be performed by an NBA star.
Remorsing for his actions and maintaining his behavior forward, Morant, however, got into another similar incident quite recently, almost within 2 months of his prior one.
In a live video by Morant's associate Davonte Pack, the two sitting in the front seat and enjoying the loud music lead to a 5-second appearance where Morant is seen holding a gun.
With neither of them making any statement, Ja got suspended from all activities of the Grizzlies team until any pending review was made by the league.
Ja's career is now in jeopardy for the second time after a similar incident. Such actions and access to a weapon have given him negative criticism as a player belonging to a prestigious league.
