DENVER — Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant won’t face charges after an episode of singing and holding what appeared to be a gun at the Denver-area Shotgun Willie’s nightclub, Glendale Police Department officials announced Wednesday afternoon.
The police issued a statement adding that nobody at the nightclub, southeast of downtown Denver in Glendale, reported the incident or called for help and that nobody was threatened.
On March 4, Glendale police learned of the incident from sports reporters who had seen a video circulating on the internet “that involved a prominent NBA player singing and holding what appeared to be a firearm by the butt end of a gun for several seconds,” the Glendale police statement said.
