Ja Morant made headlines for the wrong reasons last week after the NBA announced his 25-game suspension at the start of next season. So why is there a viral image of Morant on the cover of NBA 2K24?Buttcrack Sports announced on Twitter that the Memphis Grizzlies guard will be the next cover star of the popular video game franchise. Morant looked set to follow the footsteps of legends such as Michael Jordan, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as NBA 2K cover athletes.However, Buttcrack Sports is a satire and parody account on Twitter. That means Ja Morant is not on the cover of NBA 2K24. It's also probably not a good move for 2K Sports to reward Morant by making him their cover athlete. NBA 2K24 will be released later this year around September.Buttcrack Sports@ButtCrackSportsBREAKING: Ja Morant has been announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K24539992656BREAKING: Ja Morant has been announced as the cover athlete for NBA 2K24 https://t.co/qfAjaLE436It also didn't stop fans to make memes about the Morant cover.

Claudia Jordan of "The Breakfast Club" even claimed the NBA knew that Morant was not holding a real gun.According to TMZ Sports, the Memphis Grizzlies superstar filmed himself playing with the toy gun on the same day he was caught on Instagram Live.
