Ja Morant is not interested in changing its ways.

This time, he spent less than five minutes in the first quarter on his first basket of the game.

Morant did the same thing after a 3-pointer at the 10:10 mark of the third quarter.
He first pointed to the bench of Golden State Warriors during a game on Tuesday. Tunt was seen by several members of Warriors, in which Drummond Green appealed to the authorities what the all-star point guard was doing.
In particular, Morant appeared on Thursday, making finger guns towards the Grizzle bench instead of the summer bench.
Morant received a technical dishonesty for his efforts, as the Warriors Guard Buddy Hillad did it after copying the gesture. The next day, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that the NBA was watching the incident. The League eventually issued a warning to the peacock and hilld, but avoided the actual punishment as it determines that “the celebration was not intended to be violent in nature, but should inappropriate and escape.”
Here is the history of Morant with important reference guns and NBA Commissioner Office.

The 25-year-old has received several suspensions for gun-related events in 2023, with eight-marks suspensions in 2023 after a gun. Two months later, he fired a gun in a separate Instagram live video and received a 25-game suspension.
There was also an incident in which Indiana pacers staff and security allegedly pointed to a laser after a game in Mornt’s SUV, with the belief that the laser was associated with a gun. And at that time Mornt allegedly punched a 17-year-old boy and threatened him with a gun, although a judge later ruled that there was self-defense.

Morant is also entangled with the worst 3.8 turnover per game of a career and some of the lowest shooting numbers of his career, in the worst season of his career. The 44–32 grizzlers remain in the playoff race, but the head coach teller Jenkins and faced an uncertain future with Morants under the contract for three more sessions.
