The NBA is currently investigating Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant following a gesture he made during a game against the Golden State Warriors, which resembled a gun. This incident occurred after a pivotal moment in the fourth quarter when Morant taunted Warriors players with the gesture. Both Morant and Warriors player Buddy Hield received technical fouls for similar actions. Morant's history of firearms-related controversies includes being suspended multiple times earlier for showing a gun in social media posts, leading to significant sanctions from the league.
Morant extended his left arm and was seen using the finger gun gesture to taunt members of the Golden State Warriors during Tuesday's game.
Golden State's Buddy Hield made a similar gesture from the bench prior to Butler's free-throw attempt.
The two-time All-Star was banned eight games without pay in March 2023 for brandishing a firearm in an Instagram Live video.
Morant, 25, has been suspended on two occasions by the league for showing a handgun on social media.
