Ja Morant's first gun incident

Dating back to March 2023, Ja Morant went live on Instagram while he was in a VIP area at the strip club, wherein, he showcased a firearm during the live feed, resulting in an 8-game suspension by the NBA.

He did an interview segment with ESPN's Jalen Rose before returning on the court as he he felt regret and was in remorse following the controversial incident. Morant also mentioned during the interview that the NBA and the rest of the world was going to see a different version of him on and off the court.

But after a first-round loss courtesy of the Los Angeles Lakers, it didn't take long for Morant to make the same mistake twice.
