Morant sidelined as NBA investigates gun, strip club video

Associated Press  

Ja Morant’s skyrocketing basketball career is on hold following a series of off-court decisions by the young NBA star involving a gun in a strip club, actions which have temporarily derailed his meteoric rise. Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins says the 23-year-old Morant is a young man that has to “grow and get better.” Morant is the face of a young team with no player 30 or older, in a city that has been the center of the country’s gun issues. All that made Morant’s Instagram livestreaming himself shirtless holding an apparent gun next to his left cheek in the early morning hours Saturday at a Colorado club simply stunning. A screen grab of the livestream from the strip club showed Morant wearing the diamond pendant with his Ja 1 shoe logo Nike gave him at last month’s All-Star Game.
