A few months ago, Ja Morant was taken into custody after flashing a gun while participating in his own Instagram Live broadcast.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant brandished a gun, drawing the ire of NBA fans in another Instagram Live video
It was one of several gun and violence-related difficulties that the Memphis Grizzlies star encountered.
Morant apologized for his actions after being suspended by the squad. Everyone hoped he would change his ways.
However, Ja Morant was observed displaying a firearm on an IG Live.
Is it lawful to own a firearm? It is, indeed. Depending on the state, the Grizzlies star might face charges for carrying a pistol in public.
Even if it’s legal, flaunting a gun in such a haphazard manner isn’t a good look.
Morant is a well-liked athlete, and many younger players look up to him.
It also gets him mocked on NBA Twitter for not learning his lesson.
Some fans also pointed out that when the friend filming the video noticed the gun, he tried to pull the camera away from him.
It’s also worth mentioning that Morant’s decision has a direct impact on how much money he can earn.
The launching of his Nike signature shoe was actually postponed due to his first IG Live gun incident.
Similarly, the Grizzlies star’s Powerade commercial was dropped in the aftermath of the event.
You have to wonder if these companies would be more hesitant to work with someone who is always getting into minor mishaps like this.
The Grizzlies have yet to respond to the issue with Ja Morant and his IG Live.
