NextImg:NBA investigating Ja Morant gun gesture toward Warriors bench

Ja Morant’s fascination with guns hasn’t seemed to wane.

Morant, who has a checkered past of playing with guns on camera, made a gun gesture toward the Warriors bench at the end of Tuesday night’s loss, clearly upsetting Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.

It has drawn the attention of the NBA, which is investigating the gesture, along with one made by the Warriors’ Buddy Hield, according to ESPN.

Morant re-posted on X a close-up picture of Hield also throwing a gun sign at Morant on the sideline.

Surely Morant’s history will be taken into account here, given he was previously suspended twice for gun-related actions.

Morant was first suspended eight games in March 2023 for brandishing a gun at the Shotgun Willie’s strip club outside of Denver.

Two months later he flashed a gun in a video on social media that got him suspended the first 25 games of the 2023-24 season.

Morant, 25, has played in just 46 games in 2024-25, and many have speculated that the firing of coach Taylor Jenkins, the franchise’s all-time winningest head coach, was about keeping Morant happy in Memphis.

The Grizzlies are still in the thick of a Western Conference playoff race where they are clinging onto the No. 6 seed.
