Ja Morant has been hit with a huge fine by the NBA after his middle finger gestures.
According to reports, the Memphis Grizzlies star was fined $75,000 by the NBA after doing a gun finger gesture twice during his game against the Miami Heat, despite being warned by the NBA.
“Morant was previously warned by the league office that this gesture could be interpreted in a negative light,” the league said in a statement. The gestures were made a way to celebrate the Grizzlies’ win over the Heat after he made the game-winning shot.
Morant was investigated by the NBA earlier this week during his game against the Golden State Warriors. He and Golden State player Buddy Hield both used the finger-gun motions toward one another at the end of the game on Tuesday night.
Ja Morant has not released a statement on the matter.
