The NBA suspended Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant for 25 games (without pay) to start next season after being seen holding up a gun on social media for the second time in just 2 months.
After the first incident, in March, where Morant recorded himself holding up a gun at a club on Instagram Live, he was suspended 8 games and made a statement apologizing for his actions.
The second incident, in May, occurred when Morant was on Instagram Live while listening to music in the car with his friend, and he again showed a gun. Morant's friend quickly stopped the live stream, knowing the Morant would get in trouble again, but it was too late as everybody watching already noticed.

Ja Morant's suspension will likely have a big impact on the start of the Grizzlies' season, considering he is the team's best player.
Hopefully, after his return, he doesn't do anything else dumb :)
