Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been suspended for at least two games after posting a video in which he appears to display a gun inside a nightclub.
Morant went live on Instagram early Saturday morning, holding a handgun while rapping along with the music. He has since deactivated his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
He later apologized for the video, and said he was “going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.”
Morant’s suspension will last for at least the next two games, the team says, though it could get much worse after this report has come out…
