After being fined $75,000 for making finger-gun gestures, Ja Morant has a new celebration. The Memphis Grizzlies guard appeared to mimic throwing a grenade after making a 3-pointer in the third quarter against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday:
That’s the clip that was widely shared on social media, but it wasn’t the only time Morant made the gesture.
He celebrated Santi Aldama making a 3 this way on the court in the second quarter:
And on the bench in the third:
After Morant made a 3 early in the fourth quarter, Grizzlies forward GG Jackson made the gesture on the bench. The broadcast captured Morant covering his ears:
The same sequence of events occurred on Memphis’ next offensive possession:
Morant checked out with about nine minutes left in the Grizzlies’ 124-100 win, but the celebrations continued. He stood up and made the gesture when Lamar Stevens made a 3 with about nine minutes left, and Stevens appeared to cover his ears, too:
Morant remained seated and did a more subtle version of the celebration when Jay Huff made a 3 about a minute later:
And he stood up and covered his ears when Jackson made one with less than two minutes to play:
Before the league issued the $75,000 fine last week, it issued Morant a warning, advising him that the finger-gun gesture “could be interpreted in a negative light,” per the league’s press release. In 2023, Morant was suspended for 25 games after brandishing a gun on Instagram Live on two separate occasions.

Flavio Prado banca clube como próxima potência do Brasileirão: “Cada vez melhor”
Flavio Prado, jornalista da Jovem Pan (Reprodução) Flavio Prado avalia que o triunfo do Bahia contra o Palmeiras, fora de casa, não foi um absurdo. Levando em conta o atual patamar elevado, o comunicador fez uma projeção atrelada ao futuro do clube administrado pelo Grupo City. Assim como o time alviverde, capaz de alcançar os principais títulos da temporada, houve uma sinalização de que o Tricolor de Aço, em breve, será mais uma potência consolidada no Brasileirão. “Foi um jogo bem legal que quase ficou no 0 a 0. Os dois times criaram oportunidades, teve um momento que o Palmeiras ficou em cima direto, mas não conseguiu fazer o gol. No final, saiu o gol do Bahia. O Bahia é um bom time.”, disse Flavio Prado, no Canelada, da Jovem Pan. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE “O Bahia pode ganhar de qualquer um […]

How the Oilers gained the advantage in a war of attrition with the Kings
EDMONTON — For the second straight game, the Edmonton Oilers rallied in the third period and turned what seemed like a probable loss into a dramatic win over the Los Angeles Kings.Though there were slight differences in how they snatched enthralling victories from probable defeats — the latest, a 4-3 overtime decision on Sunday in Game 4 to tie their first-round series — there’s an overarching theme.AdvertisementThe Oilers are gaining a massive advantage in a war of attrition, and it could have them in the driver’s seat as the series shifts back to Los Angeles for Game 5.“They’re relying heavily on four D and nine forwards. That’s tough,” Oilers captain Connor McDavid said. “I thought we just wore them down. They like to absorb pressure. That can be taxing at times. You saw that tonight.”Leon Draisaitl completed the comeback by […]

Vémolova rozlučka s kariérou a oslava 40. narozenin se uskuteční v Obchodním domě Máj v Praze. „Uděláme vše pro to, abychom krásně připravili jeho příběh, protože jeho příběh si fantastický večer zaslouží,“ povídá organizátor akce Petr Větrovský a zmiňuje i spuštění prodeje vstupenek, které se pohybují od jednoho do deseti tisíc korun. „Každý, kdo mě zná, tak ví, že když v životě slavím, tak je to párkrát do roka. Většinou je to po vítězství,“ doplňuje hlavní hvězda akce.Bližší informace zatím nebyly odhaleny, nicméně slavný bijec už v hlavě má jména vysněných hostů. „Doufám, že jedním z nich bude Attila Végh. Snad po našem zápase mezi námi nebude zlá krev. A pokud by přišel i Jarda Jágr, tak bych měl velkou radost. Bude mi také velkou ctí, kdyby mi tam zazpíval Michal David,“ řekl nahlas Vémola svá přání.V tu dobu bude bývalý šampion Oktagonu už ve sportovním důchodu. „Nevím, jak se na to člověk může […]
