On Wednesday, the NBA reportedly warned Memphis Grizzlies star JA More and Golden State Warriors backup guard Buddy Hield had a “inappropriate” celebration. The two used the “shooter” gesture in a fiercely controversial game between the two teams on Tuesday. According to Shams Charania, the alliance identified behaviors that were not intended to be “acts that were inherently violent”, which allowed them to escape without punishment.

Morant copied the gesture of opposition on Thursday Miami Hot. He repeated the controversial celebrations in a three-pointer game with 7:50 left in the first quarter.

Fans immediately responded to Ja Morant’s antics:

“He towed throughout the NBA”

one fan explain:

“He pulled AK out of TN”

other fan additional:

“He really put it on him”

@wheatleyhayden continued:

“JA is here to do everything he can to be suspended before the playoffs.”

@thisalyfestyle reaction:

“A fine of $50,000”

A second gun gesture in back-to-back game could push the NBA to review the bill. No one would be surprised if the league responded more severely than the warnings sent to the forward All-Stars.

In 2023, JA Morant was suspended twice by the NBA for wielding his gun twice on Instagram Live. The league forced him to sit eight games in March before starting the 2023-24 season with a 25-game suspension.

Ja Morant’s start with a tough start to the Miami Heat

The three-pointer that led to the gun gesture was the only basket against the Miami Heat in the first quarter. He scored 4-1 with three-pointers and two assists. The point guard made two more mistakes Memphis GrizzliesThe stuttering begins. They were behind 27-22 at the end of that period.

The Grizzlies need Morant to finish the season best on his field. They were in four games, failed, and seven of the last eight games. Starting with the fourth at the Western Conference in mid-March, they are now No. 8.

Still, if they can rush around, they can still reach the automatic playoffs. Memphis can’t afford the poor suspension or long-range extension.
