Just two months after being suspended for flashing a gun during an Instagram live session, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has done it again. The star point guard was seen flashing a gun during a new Instagram live session that was being hosted by his friend this time.

The Memphis Grizzlies have broken their silence on the new incident, releasing a brief statement that reads, "We are aware of the social media video involving Ja Morant. He is suspended from all team activities pending League review. We have no further comment at this time."

With this being the second gun incident for Morant in such a short time, it will be very interesting to see how the Grizzlies and the NBA handle it. Morant was suspended for eight games earlier this season, and said during an ESPN interview that the incident did not reflect what he was about as a person.

"The gun wasn't mine. It's not who I am," Morant said during that interview in March. "I don't condone any type of violence, but I take full responsibility for my actions. Made a bad mistake, and I can see the image that I painted over myself with my recent mistakes, but in the future, I'm gonna show everybody who Ja really is, what I'm about and change this narrative."

Now just two months later, Morant has flashed a gun on Instagram live again.
