Memphis Grizzlies All-Star Ja Morant is once again in the news for the wrong reasons. 

Morant recently posted a video on Instagram Live of him allegedly flashing a gun. This comes on the heels of him being suspended eight games by the NBA in March for similar behavior.

When the suspension happened, Miami Heat team captain Udonis Haslem said he hoped he could mentor Morant.

“I would've loved to have a relationship (with Ja Morant)," Haslem said during an appearance on The Pivot podcast. "I'd speak to his father too… I understand where you come from. I understand your surroundings…understand the pressure you might feel to keep it real. But keeping it real can go wrong though, so I will show you how to move out here and still enjoy your life and maintain your independence of who you are and what you are, but the right way."
