Morant penalized for making a finger gun motion during an NBA game.

Morant made the gestures during the Grizzlies’ 110-108 victory against the Miami Heat in Florida on Thursday. The NBA says the 25-year-old was previously warned by the league office that the finger-gun gesture could be interpreted in a negative light. Morant – who scored a team-leading 30 points on Thursday – has twice been suspended by the NBA for showing a handgun on social media. He was banned for eight games without pay in March 2023 for brandishing a firearm in an Instagram Live video. Morant was also given a 25-game suspension to start the 2023-24 season after a video of him posing with a firearm surfaced online. After the first incident, he apologised and said he took “full responsibility” for his actions. He said he would “work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall wellbeing” and that, after reflection, he realised “what I have to lose”.
