NBA superstar reportedly under police investigation as fallout over gun video continues

Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant is reportedly under a police investigation over an Instagram video in which he is seen brandishing a firearm.

The Glendale Police Department in Colorado have launched a probe into the matter.

A spokesperson for the Glendale PD “have confirmed the incident took place at a bar in Glendale” and are “investigating the matter.”

The video was filmed just hours after the Grizzlies had lost to the Nuggets in Denver.

Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins has also reiterated there is no timetable for Morant’s return to the court.

The Grizzlies originally announced Morant would be away from the team for at least two games, but Jenkins hinted that absence could be longer.

“We’re taking it one day at a time,” Jenkins told reporters on Sunday before the Grizzlies face the Clippers.

“There’s no definitive timeline … It’s really not a timetable situation.”

Morant was involved in other off-court controversies before getting suspended, with the 23-year-old reportedly getting in separate confrontations with a teenager and a security guard.

No arrests were made for both altercations.

But Morant was sued for allegedly assaulting the teen and flashing a gun at him after a pick-up game last summer.

Morant has said he was acting in self defence.

The point guard went live on Instagram early Saturday, displaying himself shirtless at a club while rapping to music, and displayed a handgun.

Jenkins said Sunday the video was a “very tough moment.”
