Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is one of the most talented (and popular) players in the NBA. 

That said, the 23-year-old superstar has been in the news for the wrong reasons as of late.   

The team recently suspended him after a video went viral where he allegedly held a gun.

During the regular season, Morant was suspended eight games for a similar incident.

The alleged viral video was reportedly from the Instagram account @_dtap2  (who is Davonte Pack), a childhood friend of Morant.

Recently, Morant reportedly unfollowed @_dtap2 on Instagram, and the news has gone viral. 

Via The Daily Loud: "Ja Morant unfollowed his childhood friend Davonte Pack after controversial “Instagram Live Gun Flashing Incident”"

Less than two years ago, Morant posted a photo with Pack that has over 153,000 likes. 

Morant captioned the post: "my day 1 . you my brother & i love you to death 🖤 i'll never go against you 💯 @_dtap2 #twinnem #sincejits"

Morant is coming off another fantastic season where he averaged 26.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 46.6% from the field. 

The Grizzlies were the second seed in the Western Conference with a 51-31 record but lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs (in six games).

The NBA has not officially announced his punishment, but Commissioner Adam Silver spoke about Morant before Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

Silver: "My sense now is that shortly after the conclusion of the Finals, we will announce the outcome of that investigation."
