The problem of the Memphis Grizzlies star, Ja Morant, has not yet ended. Soon after the club incident, the $80 million NBA star finds himself entangled in yet another similar controversy. Even if the Grizzlies are out of the championship race, this year, Morant showed his potential on the court. Despite his exceptional skills and dynamic playing style, Morant’s off-court behavior frequently eclipses his on-court brilliance.
Recently, Morant faced a suspension from his basketball team, the Grizzlies. He received an eight-game suspension without pay after he openly displayed a gun during a visit to a club, resulting in a loss of approximately $669,000 in salary. However, Morant once again made headlines when he went live on Instagram with his friend and became involved in a situation that could potentially have significant consequences for his NBA career.
