MIAMI (AP) โ€” Ja Morant showed off an imaginary gun. The NBA hit back with a real fine.

A day after Morant again used his aiming-a-gun gesture to celebrate making 3-pointers, the Grizzliesโ€™ star was fined $75,000 by the league Friday. Itโ€™s the second time this week that Morant โ€” who was suspended twice in 2023 for incidents with actual weapons โ€” heard from the league about mimicking the act of using a gun during a game.

The league called the gesture โ€œinappropriate,โ€ adding that โ€œMorant was previously warned by the league office that this gesture could be interpreted in a negative light.โ€
