Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies could be in more trouble after flashing a gun on his latest Instagram live video. Morant allegedly did it on Saturday morning following the Memphis Grizzlies' loss to the Denver Nuggets.

In the video below, the young NBA superstar showed his gun while surrounded by a bunch of people, including women who might be strippers. However, it should be noted that it's still unknown if it's an old video or a new one. It's also unverified if it happened at his house or somewhere else.

According to OutKick, the live stream is not available for viewing. It remains to be seen if the NBA or the Memphis Grizzlies are going to address the video or not. Morant recently celebrated a dunk by Jaren Jackson by making gun gestures on the bench.

Another part of the alleged Instagram live post was uploaded on Twitter. It shows Morant jamming to NBA YoungBoy's "Bring 'Em Out." Morant also made a disturbing gesture like he was pointing a gun at the camera.

Fans on Twitter quickly flooded the original uploader of the first video clip, DJ Akademiks. As usual, Twitter remains undefeated. Some fans expressed concern about Morant's recent behavior, while others simply posted memes.

Ja Morant's camp released a statement regarding the troubling report of his behavior over the summer. Morant allegedly threatened mall officials in Memphis after his mother, Jamie, got into a fight with a Finish Line employee.

Four days later, Morant reportedly beat up a 17-year-old teenage boy in his Tennessee home. He also allegedly brandished a gun in front of the boy, which led to an on-going lawsuit against him.

Morant's lawyer, S. Keenan Carter of Butler Snow LLP, a report by The Washington Post is a lie and they are likely seeking legal action against the journalist. His agent, Jim Tanner of Tandem Sports and Entertainment, called his client's actions against the teenager as self-defense.

The NBA and police each conducted separate investigations and found Morant didn't do anything wrong. However, with recent reports of troubling behavior, gun celebrations and the alleged Instagram live video surfacing, Morant could be in more trouble. It's the last thing the Grizzlies need heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
