Ja Morant (23), star player of the Memphis Grizzlies, allows the second misstep in a few weeks. A social media video shows him again with a gun in public.
A friend’s Instagram channel shows a live video of Morant sitting in the car, singing along to a song and briefly unpacking his gun. The video has since been removed, but the scene will still have repercussions.
Club and league will punish repeat offenders
The Memphis Gizzlies have already responded to the incident: Morant will be suspended until the end of the league investigation and banned from all team activities. Explosive: The NBA All-Star recently signed a five-year contract worth about 174 million francs, which is valid from next season. The league is currently gathering information and should issue a ban soon.
Morant was banned from competition for eight games in March for a similar offense at a strip club. learning effect? Apparently not available. Morant had promised improvement after serving his sentence. He explained to ESPN that he now knows what he has to lose and that from now on he wants to “be more responsible and smarter and stay away from all the bad decisions”.
Morant has noticed it before
Morant had sought professional help after the first incident, apparently without success. The two videos aren’t his first disciplinary misconduct, either.
Since being called up in 2019, the 23-year-old scandal player has repeatedly attracted attention with off-field incidents. An assault case is still pending. A 17-year-old boy accused Morant of hitting him, wounding his head and threatening him with a gun. For his part, Morant filed a libel counterclaim.
Regardless of this procedure, the NBA star is threatened with another forced break after the second misstep within eight weeks. After the second misstep, will the club and the league have to be even harder for Morant to learn his lesson? (dti)
