Ja Morant is testing the NBA. Earlier this week, Morant found himself in hot water when he pointed an imaginary gun at the Warriors’ bench, a little over a year after getting suspended for brandishing a firearm on a live stream.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the NBA sent a warning to Morant over his celebration.
“NBA issued warnings – no further penalties – to Grizzlies’ Ja Morant and Warriors’ Buddy Hield along with both teams for gestures on Tuesday night, sources tell ESPN. League ruled the celebrations were not intended to be violent in nature, but inappropriate and should refrain.”
Despite the NBA’s warning, Morant once again busted out a gun celebration after a made three-pointer in the Grizzlies’ game against the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

It’ll be interesting to see how Adam Silver and the NBA respond to Morant’s latest taunt.
