Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant appeared to flash a gun in a video on Instagram Live on Saturday night while he was in a vehicle with friends.

The video showed Morant in the passenger seat dancing to some music with some friends. He then appeared to pull the gun out to show off for the camera and that’s when the friend holding the phone pulled it away from the Grizzlies point guard and faced it toward his shoulder.

A photo appearing to show Morant with the weapon went viral around social media.

The Grizzlies didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s quest for comment. Morant’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Morant has been in the spotlight over the course of the season over several reports accusing him of wrongdoing. He was never charged in any of the incidents but it all came to a boiling point earlier this year when he was seen brandishing a gun in a Denver nightclub.

He was suspended eight games in March and checked himself into a clinic for stress management.

After the Grizzlies were eliminated from the playoffs, Morant acknowledged the off-court incidents may have led to a distracted team.
