The Memphis Grizzlies suspended their star player Ja Morant for at least two games after he filmed himself waving his gun in a Colorado club after his team lost to the Nuggets.
The NBA is also investigating and it is likely he will end up with much more than a two-game ban.
The NBA prohibits players from carrying a gun during league travel. Â Since Ja was in Colorado with a gun it is likely their investigation will uncover that he violated the league’s collective bargaining agreement by taking the weapon on the team plane.
We will see how the Ja Morant situation develops.
There are likely legal consequences because he is an out of state resident viewed in possession of a gun.

How long do you think Ja will be suspended for?
We suspect it will be longe than Kyrie.
