In his fourth season, Ja Morant was showing he’s a promising young player, while already solidifying himself as a superstar in the NBA.
But while Morant was shining on the court, there were some pretty dark allegations and situations 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.
Maybe most harmful to him and his standing within the league, Morant was seen displaying a gun on Instagram Live, while in a strip club. This led to Morant being away from the team for a lengthy period of time, while entering a counseling program in Florida.
Because of the incident Morant did not make an All-NBA Team, losing out on around $40 million. But while the Memphis Grizzlies star assured most people with his words that he would flip the narrative around him, also vouching to have matured, a recent video could make things worse for him.
In the video – an Instagram live again – Morant can be seen holding a gun (0:14 mark), with the person recording the live video, immediately turning the camera away from Morant after he displayed the gun.
