The story repeats itself. Ja Morant has been suspended from Memphis Grizzlies team activities after he again appeared with what appears to be a gun in a video posted to social media.
In the Instagram Live video, which has been circulating the web for a few hours, Morant dances and sings with friends in a vehicle. At one point, the camera briefly shows the Grizzlies star in the front passenger seat with what appears to be a gun in his hand.

Circuit spokesman Mike Bass told Charania that the League was “aware of the social media post involving Ja Morant” and was “gathering more information”.
