Ja Morant was back in action on Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets after a one-game absence, and he brought out a new celebration. This comes after Morant was fined $75,000 last Thursday after celebrating with finger gun gestures against the Miami Heat despite getting warned by the NBA not to do it.

Instead of his finger guns, Morant debuted a new celly against the Hornets as he threw an imaginary grenade after hitting a huge 3-point bomb.

Ja Morant drops a bomb on the Charlotte Hornets in Grizzlies win

Ja Morant led the Memphis Grizzlies to a dominant 124-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. It was a feel-good win for the Grizz as they have now won three in a row after a recent slide. They are now tied with the Denver Nuggets in fourth place in the Western Conference.

After missing their last game against the Detroit Pistons, Morant came back with 28 points, eight assists, five rebounds and one block.

Zach Edey assisted Morant in securing the victory on Tuesday. The Grizzlies rookie starred against the Hornets as he came up with a huge double-double performance. Edey had 17 points, 19 rebounds, three steals and one block.

The Memphis Grizzlies now only have three games remaining in their regular season. If they win all three, there's a huge possibility that the Grizzlies could secure the third or fourth seed in the West in the upcoming 2025 NBA Playoffs.
