Ja Morant: Memphis Grizzlies Faces Possible Suspension Over Gun Video

Ja Morant, the star point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is facing the possibility of suspension after a video surfaced on social media showing him holding a handgun.

The video, which was reportedly taken at a gathering with friends and family, shows Morant holding the weapon while others in the room cheer and applaud.

 The video has since been deleted from social media, but screenshots and copies of the video continue to circulate online.

The NBA has strict rules when it comes to firearms, with players prohibited from possessing, carrying, or using a firearm, whether on or off the court, without league approval. 

The league's collective bargaining agreement with the players' union also includes provisions that prohibit players from engaging in any conduct that may "impair public confidence in the honesty and integrity of the NBA."

While it's unclear whether Morant violated any of these rules or agreements, the NBA and the Grizzlies organization are reportedly investigating the incident.

Morant has since issued a statement on Twitter, acknowledging the video and apologizing for his actions. 
"I want to first apologize for my actions that have now become a distraction for my team," Morant wrote. "I know my actions were irresponsible and that they put myself and others in danger. I will do better going forward."

The Grizzlies also released a statement, saying they are aware of the video and are gathering information on the incident.

 "We have been made aware of the video involving Ja Morant," the team said. "We are currently gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time."

It's unclear what action, if any, the NBA or the Grizzlies will take against Morant. While the league has been known to suspend players for off-court behavior in the past

Each case is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and any disciplinary action taken against Morant will likely depend on the specific circumstances of the incident.

Regardless of what happens, the incident serves as a reminder of the NBA's strict rules on firearms and the importance of responsible behavior, both on and off the court For Morant.
