Why is NBA investigating Ja Morant? Closer look at potential disciplinary breach by Grizzlies superstar

On the heels of a showdown between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday, Ja Morant is being investigated by the NBA.

ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania and reporter Tim MacMahon broke the news on Wednesday, indicating that the investigation stems from the two-time All-Star using finger guns during an exchange with the Warriors bench.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Charania wrote:

"The NBA is looking into Memphis' Ja Morant using finger gun motions toward the Golden State Warriors bench last night, sources tell me and @espn_macmahon."

Given Morant's history of disciplinary actions with the NBA, if the league does in fact determine through their investigation that he deserves to be suspended, they could hit the Memphis star with a harsher penalty than if this was his first offense.
