Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies finished the season as the second-best team in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the team?s championship hopes were quickly brought to a halt after they suffered a first-round elimination at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Given that the Memphis Grizzlies were knocked out early from the playoffs, the team and its players had enough time on their hands to enjoy the offseason and kick it back. However, Ja Morant found himself at the bitter end of criticism once again.
Morant was seen brandishing a firearm on Instagram Live after he was suspended for doing the same just months ago. The Grizzlies? star point guard has said very little since the second gun incident made news across the nation.
Only hours ago, Morant went to his official Instagram account to share pictures with his mother, father, and daughter, expressing love. In the end, he posted another picture with the caption, ?Bye,? raising concern among fans and even the authorities.
