Analyzing Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant's future after head coach Taylor Jenkins was fired before the playoffs.
The Memphis Grizzlies star whipped out his finger guns celebration again on Thursday during a game against the Miami Heat, which might be a bit of an issue because the NBA reportedly issued a warning against him Wednesday for the same celebration. This time, he did it less than five minutes into the first quarter, on his first basket of the game.
If Ja Morant and his history with guns did a shotgun gesture at the Warriors' bench, an NBA suspension could be coming.
Ja Morant's Memphis Grizzlies future is coming into question after Taylor Jenkins' firing. Is a trade on the way for Morant?
While Morant's off-court escapades seem to have stopped, he remains a question mark in the lineup. Morant returned from suspension last season only to suffer a season-ending injury in January. After recovering from shoulder surgery, Morant has missed another 30 games this season.
Morant was no fan of the Grizzlies' new offense, which was forced on coach Taylor Jenkins by management, who fired Jenkins.
