With the ongoing NBA finals, no official verdict on his punishment has been made besides the suspension.

I'm tired of listening to old white men who don't know what they talking about."

Memphis is one of the realest cities in the world."

[{"selector":"#anim-0fea7a6b-05b3-4a10-b101-b39fe32cb6f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb38666e-8df4-45a5-8140-c1cbdedbff74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0c686ee3-39fa-4b12-a6ce-c0dd9f5aa308 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(68.22321419640149%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Talking about the gun culture in America and Memphis Morant's actions is justifiable to some extent, but NBA rules and culture consider it an act of undisciplinary behavior performed by an NBA star.

[{"selector":"#anim-16ef693f-f1b7-4c24-90ed-f23324a1d716 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-70.5449216135013%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3500,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ad0206ad-d5ab-4fa6-ba3f-a3cb98a01c55","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-20ec0502-244d-4e02-90be-1af6f12ea64c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -418.88886%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Besides this, there has been some validity to reports claiming the gun is a mere toy and not a real one. But with no relevant evidence being found, there seems to be no difference in the situation.
