There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Ja Morant, and he’s just in the early phase of his career. In his fourth season, not only Morant is showing he’s a promising young player, but he’s already solidifying himself as a superstar in the NBA.
With his highly productive play and ability to lead his team, it’s not hard to picture Morant as a potential MVP winner in the future.
While Morant is shining on the court, there recently have been some pretty dark allegations off the court. Whether some members of his entourage point guns at Pacers personell, Morant beating up a teenager and threatening him with a gun, or Morant and his group threatening mall employees over a dispute, headlines have been while around Morant as of late.
Now, maybe most harmful to him and his standing within the league, Morant was seen displaying a gun on Instagram Live, while in a nightclub last night. According to NBA spokesperson Mike Bass, the league is currently investigating the case:
“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating.”
