Earlier in March, Ja Morant had invited trouble for flashing a firearm on an Instagram Live from a night club based in Denver. Past weekend, the Memphis Grizzlies star has landed in a similar trouble on the back of another Instagram Live. Morant’s recent firearm controversy has upset NBA veterans and fellow players alike. By now, several NBA stars have either called out or advised the 23-year-old. Recently, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Ja Morant.

Turns out, Ja Morant’s millions of dollars are at risk. Morant’s controversy might have caused huge damage to his relationship with a multi-billion-dollar partner. Apparently, Draymond Green gave the youngster a stringent reality check about the business world.

Ja Morant had reportedly signed a lucrative shoe deal reportedly worth $193 million with Nike. Apparently, the shoe-manufacturing giant had then extended their support to Ja Morant. The $184 billion-worth shoe manufacturer had then recognized Morant’s “accountability”.

Though Nike had then stated that they will support the Memphis star, they seem to have changed their stance now. Nike has now removed Morant’s signature sneakers from their app and other affiliated apps. This move comes days after the 23-year-old was seen flashing a firearm on another Instagram Live on Saturday.

Kids’ parents buy shoes. And those children’s parents aren’t impressed with what they are seeing. So,?it’s like, stop it or don’t build the business.”

Back in March, it was an Instagram Live that landed Ja Morant in trouble after he flashed a firearm on the video. Last weekend, he was seen on Instagram Live posted by his friend Davonte Pack. The video was filmed inside a car and Ja Morant was at the wheel. However, for a second, he was seen holding what appeared to be a gun in his hand. Seeing Morant land in back-to-back troubles after appearing on Instagram Live, Draymond Green wonders why the Grizzlies star doesn’t stop doing such Lives.
