Ja Morant has escaped a potentially-lengthy NBA ban after police concluded there was no evidence to charge the Memphis Grizzlies star with any crime.
Morant was suspended for posting a video on social media - allegedly showing him flashing a gun while posing in a club on Friday night. Morant is yet to feature for the Grizzlies since the video was posted, and the NBA and police are still investigating the matter.
Carrying a gun is allowed in Colorado, although there are some exceptions to the rule. But NBA rules prohibit a player from possessing any firearm while on team property or traveling with the team, meaning Morant could have been in hot water if it was determined he took the gun on the team bus or while with the team.
