Ja Morant has been suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies for at least two games after he flashed a gun in an Instagram live video over the weekend, and it seems likely that he will face discipline from the NBA as well.
Morant shared the video on social media the same night the Grizzlies lost to the Nuggets in Denver. It appears he was at a strip club in Colorado at the time. You can see the clip here.
As ESPN’s Bobby Marks pointed out, there is a section of the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and NBA Players Association that outlines rules about firearms and other weapons. Section 9(a) states in part that players are not permitted to possess a firearm or other deadly weapon “whenever a player is traveling on any NBA-related business, whether on behalf of the player’s Team, the NBA, or any League-related entity.”
