The NBA is investigating a recent video shared on Instagram Live by Ja Morant, 23-year-old star of the Memphis Grizzlies. In the video, Morant displayed a gun, which is troubling considering the NBA’s recent efforts to promote gun control. As a result of the video, the Grizzlies announced that Morant would be away from the team for at least two games. The team’s coach, Taylor Jenkins, stated that Morant has been cooperative as the league conducts its investigation. He added that the organization is taking gun violence very seriously and the video has presented a growth opportunity for Morant.
