Ja Morant suspended by Memphis Grizzlies after holding gun in social media postJa Morant, the Memphis Grizzlies guard, will miss at least the next two games as the NBA opens an investigation into a social media post showing him holding what appeared to be a gun at a nightclub. The video was livestreamed by Morant to his now-disabled Instagram account. The Grizzlies have not yet made any comment on the matter. The NBA subsequently banned unidentified individuals from the arena for a year, but denied that anyone had been threatened with a weapon. Meanwhile, New Mexico State’s men’s basketball season was cancelled in February, following allegations of a locker-room shooting and hazing.
