Ja Morant was allegedly spotted on an Instagram Live video holding a gun. Morant appeared to be in a car with friends when he held up a gun while the video was streaming live.
Morant missed nine games in early- to mid-March after brandishing a gun in a video filmed in a Denver area nightclub. Morant was ultimately suspended for eight games total by NBA, while being given credit for the first five games he sat out.
In an interview with ESPN after being suspended, Morant said he made a “terrible mistake” and promised to be accountable for his actions moving forward.
“It’s not who I am,” Morant said. “I don’t condone any type of violence but I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a bad mistake, and I can see that image I painted over myself with my recent mistakes, but in the future, I’ll make sure everybody knows who Ja really is, and what I’m about and change this narrative.”
