Ja Morant might be in trouble with the NBA ... again.
The league is "looking into" the Memphis Grizzlies star point guard's use of finger gun motions toward the Golden State Warriors' bench in the final seconds of Tuesday's matchup between the rivals, ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon reported Wednesday, citing sources.

Things got chippy with 20 seconds remaining and the Warriors up by five as double-technical fouls were assessed to both Morant and Warriors guard Buddy Hield, who also appeared to make a gun gesture toward Morant. Several other Warriors players stepped in and notified the officials of Morant's gesture.
Charania added that the NBA also will look into Hield's actions, and league officials will talk to involved parties as soon as Wednesday.
Morant was suspended twice for flashing a gun on Instagram live videos in 2023, with the first being an eight-game suspension for having a gun at a Denver nightclub. The second video happened over the summer, when he flashed what appeared to be a gun in a car and had to serve a 25-game suspension.
