Ja Morant "Under Fire" Again For Controversial Celebration Antics
Here we go again. Ja Morant, who has been nothing but spectacular in his comeback from a 25-game suspension, has now come... ahem... under fire for his post-game celebration Tuesday night that included finger guns & a 'rocket launcher'.
Maybe Ja Morant shouldn’t be flashing gun hand motions at the crowd after having been suspended for carrying around guns.

On FanDuel's Run it Back this morning, former NBA player Chandler Parsons, for one, blasted Morant.

On the court, Morant has single-handedly revived the Memphis Grizzlies' season, leading them to a 4-0 record with him after a dreadful start during his suspension. That 25-gamer was his second ban from the league for repeated gun-flashing incidents on social media.
Now, at least, he's just using imaginary ones on the court. But that hasn't stopped the critics from calling him out.
