The Memphis Grizzlies suspended guard Jae Morant from all team activities on Sunday after a social media video surfaced showing the two-time All-Star holding what appeared to be a gun.
The announcement comes two months after a roughly similar incident in which Morant was suspended for eight games after he appeared in a live-streaming video on Instagram holding a firearm at a nightclub.
It was not immediately clear how long the latest suspension would last. The Grizzlies, who were ousted in the opening round of the NBA playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers, said the disciplinary move was pending a league review.
“We are aware of social media posts involving Ja Morant and are in the process of gathering more information,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in a statement to Reuters.
