“Ja Morant's gang was celebrating in Denver last night” – NBA fans react to mass shooting around Nuggets’ Ball Arena

On Monday night, the Denver Nuggets finished off the Miami Heat and won their first championship in franchise history. What was supposed to be a good night for the team and city quickly took a turn for the worst.

The morning after the Nuggets celebrated their finals win, news broke about an incident that happened not far from the arena. A mass shooting took place in Denver the night that has left at least 10 people injured.

While this is tragic news for the city of Denver and those that were victims, NBA fans couldn't help themselves by chiming in. As expected, most of the comments were centered around Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant. The All-Star point guard is waiting to hear what will happen to him after being caught on social media with a firearm for the second time this year.

This was not the only comment made about Ja Morant as others commented with a similar nature.

Others pointed the focus toward Jimmy Butler following his performance. The Miami Heat star was incredible all playoffs, but the effects of a long run were certainly weighing on him. In Game 5, he finished with 21 points while shooting 5-for-18 from the field.

Fans worried about future events following Denver Nuggets incident

After seeing how things played out after the Nuggets win over the Miami Heat, fans are now worried about future events happening in the area. In a few years, the city is going to be host to the World Cup.
