Ja Morant, despite proving his basketball prowess with a stunning game-winning shot and earning the title of Western Conference Player of the Week after returning from a 25-game suspension, faces scrutiny from fans.
The suspension stemmed from Morant’s controversial actions, specifically filming himself with a gun, leading some to question whether he has learned from the consequences.
In a recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Morant’s celebratory actions, including a perceived shooting gesture and a mimic of a rocket launcher, reignited concerns about his behavior.
Gilbert Arenas, who had his share of gun-related issues during his career, expressed his sentiments by sharing a clip of Andre Iguodala addressing Andrew Wiggins, possibly advising Morant to exercise caution.
