The NBA world has witnessed Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant getting bundled in various controversies throughout this season. The league even suspended his friends from entering the arena for home games because of an incident off the court. The 23-year-old rising star recently found himself in a possibly career-ending controversy. A former Wizards star, who faced a similar controversy in the past, prompted fans to call out the irony after his statement regarding Moran’ts controversy.

Following the incident, Morant was suspended for at least two games by the Grizzlies. Reportedly, the Grizzlies star displayed a gun at a nightclub during his Instagram live. After the issue, Morant faced heat from all directions of the NBA world. But 3x NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas’ twisted take on the Morant squabble attracted brutal comments from fans.

Gilbert Arenas’ debatable take on Ja Morant controversy

In a recent podcast episode of Gil’s Arena titled Don’t Mess with Ja, Gilbert Arenas surprised the NBA world with his stance on the gun controversy. When the host asked Arenas to pose as Morant’s owner and react to the issue, the former NBA star pretended as if he ignored whatever happened in front of him. Along with his antics, he also said, “I’m the owner… I’m gonna do what every owner does — pretend I don’t see it.”
