Report: NBA lets Grizzlies’ Ja Morant off with a warning

The NBA issued warnings but no further penalties to Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant and Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield for their “finger gun” gestures during Tuesday’s game, ESPN reported Thursday.

The league determined their celebration moves were not intended to be violent in nature but were inappropriate and should not be repeated, per the report.

The warnings also were issued to both teams.

The Warriors won the game, 134-125, in Memphis.

Morant, 25, has been suspended on two occasions by the league for showing a handgun on social media.

The two-time All-Star was banned eight games without pay in March 2023 for brandishing a firearm in an Instagram Live video.

A video of Morant posing with a firearm surfaced online, leading to the NBA conducting an investigation that resulted in a 25-game suspension to start the 2023-24 season.
