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. Itโs 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 โinappropriate,โ adding that โMorant was previously warned by the league office that this gesture could be interpreted in a negative light.โ
