Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant made headlines for his celebrations in games against the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat. On Saturday, the Grizzlies and the Detroit Pistons will meet in Michigan.

Morant and Hield engaged in a verbal altercation that included hand gestures resembling guns during a game Tuesday.

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.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant again made a gun gesture with his fingers before going on to hit the game-winner in his team’s 110-108 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday, despite reportedly receiving a warning from the NBA for performing the same celebration earlier this week.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant was fined $75,000 by the NBA on Friday after "twice making an inappropriate gesture on the playing court," the league announced. Morant's "inappropriate gesture" was a finger-gun taunt. He used the gesture twice during the Grizzlies' 110-108 win over the Miami Heat, per the league's release.

A day after Morant again used his aiming-a-gun gesture to celebrate making 3-pointers, the Grizzlies’ star was fined $75,000 by the league Friday. It’s the second time this week that Morant — who was suspended twice in 2023 for incidents with actual weapons — heard from the league about mimicking the act of using a gun during a game.

Ja Morant may as well be digging his own basketball grave, a former NBA great said. The Grizzlies star doesn’t seem to care if he gets punished for his gun-related celebrations on the court, and the guard already received a $75,000 fine from the NBA for using the gun gesture this week, even after receiving a warning.

Morant, who has been suspended by the NBA for gun-related incidents in recent seasons, ignored a warning given to him earlier the same day.
