Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been suspended without pay by the NBA, following an investigation into his gun video on Instagram.
Morant has been under investigation by police and the NBA for posting a video on social media - allegedly showing him flashing a gun while posing in a club on March 4. Morant was already suspended by the Grizzlies following the incident, but has now been hit with an eight-game layoff by the league.
The NBA investigation into Morant did not conclude that the gun belonged to the Grizzlies star, or was brought by him into the night club or was displayed by him beyond a brief period, according to NBA insider Shams Charania. But he will sit out without pay until March 20, when he's eligible to return for their clash against the Dallas Mavericks.
