Morant has been suspended multiple times in the past for incidents involving actual guns. In 2023, he was suspended eight games after flashing a gun on Instagram at a Colorado nightclub. Then, in May of the same year, he was suspended 25 more games after again showing off a gun while in a car during another Instagram video.

The NBA sent a warning to Ja Morant but is not expected to penalize the Memphis Grizzlies star further for what appeared to be a gun-related gesture.

Buddy Hield reportedly won’t be fined or suspended by the league for his actions that occurred late in Tuesday’s game.
