Today, NBA fans learned that Ja Morant, the talented guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, has been hit with a $75,000 fine. The penalty comes as a consequence of his repeated use of an inappropriate gesture during a game, according to Joe Dumars, the Executive Vice President and Head of Basketball Operations. Morant had previously received a warning from the league, cautioning him that such gestures might be perceived negatively.
This incident took place during the Grizzlies’ narrow 110-108 win over the Miami Heat on April 3 at the Kaseya Center. The timing and context of these gestures have raised eyebrows and led to this decisive action from the NBA.
