Discover the latest on Ja Morant as he finds himself in the spotlight once again. A video from Instagram Live on Mother’s Day showed the Memphis Grizzlies’ star waving a gun, resulting in his suspension from all team activities.
This incident marks the second time Morant has exhibited such behavior, following a previous incident in March. The repercussions were an 8-game suspension and counseling. As the 2023-24 NBA season approaches, speculations arise regarding a potential 40-game suspension for Morant.
In a notable development, Nike has taken steps to distance itself from Ja Morant. According to TMZ, the Ja 1 Nike sneakers are no longer available on Nike’s website. While the “Hunger” edition of Morant’s sneakers is still slated for release on May 25, this move suggests a shift in the brand’s association with the player. Morant himself released a statement expressing his disappointment and taking full accountability for his actions, emphasizing his commitment to personal growth.
