Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant has been suspended from all offseason team activities, as the NBA conducts a review of the social media post that shows him brandishing a firearm.

Less than two months ago, Morant was suspended after an Instagram Live video surfaced showing him flashing a gun inside a Denver-area nightclub. Morant met with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver following the incident. During an interview with ESPN on Tuesday Silver said he was "shocked" by the latest video.

Over the past few days, many fans, athletes and celebrities have shared their respective opinions about the situation.

Former NBA player and current television commentator JJ Redick said Morant should face some type of punishment.

"I'm not condoning the behavior, I'm not saying there should be no punishment. There should be. There should be consequences, you are the face of the league," Redick said.

Aside from the nightclub video and the most recent gun brandishing video, Morant has been associated with multiple incidents throughout the season.

Last summer, a member of the security team at a Memphis mall told police that he was "threatened" by Morant during an altercation in the parking lot, according to records obtained by the Washington Post. No arrests were made.
