Ja Morant To Be Suspended After His Bench Gesture Goes Viral?
Ja Morant is no stranger to controversy.
Over the past couple of years the Memphis Grizzlies star has repeatedly come under fire for his unfortunate link to guns, street gangs and misbehavior with strippers.
A combination of those behaviors led to him getting suspended at one point.
This week, Morant found himself in hot water once more.

Some on social media have even started to speculate that Morant might get suspended for the gesture.
Time will tell if that actually ends up happening, though.
The glimmer has really come off Morant’s star ever since his nonstop controversies from a few years ago.
It will be interesting to see if he can return to his old glory during the 2024-25 season.
