Ja Morant’s shooting on Tuesday night drew some major attention from the NBA, but not in a great way.
The Memphis Grizzlies star is reportedly under investigation by the league after pulling out ‘finger guns’ and blasting them toward the Golden State Warriors’ bench in a 134-125 loss.
OutKick’s Mark Harris chronicled the ridiculous stunt against Golden State, which prompted flashbacks to Morant brandishing real firearms on social media during the 2023-24 season.

Oklahoma freshman Jeremiah Fears told ESPN on Wednesday that he will forgo his remaining college eligibility and declare for the 2025 NBA draft.
Fears was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team, averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals on 43.4% shooting from the field in 34 games. He ranked seventh in the conference in scoring and seventh among all freshmen in the country.
The 6-foot-4 guard started off the year hot, becoming the first Sooners freshman since Trae Young to score in double figures in each of his first 15 games.
WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Seiya Suzuki homered twice and drove in five runs as the Chicago Cubs beat the Athletics 10-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.
Matt Shaw added two RBI singles for the Cubs, who outscored the A’s 35-9 in the first major league series played at Sutter Health Park, the club’s planned home for the next three years before a proposed relocation to Las Vegas.
Suzuki hit an early three-run homer for the second consecutive game when he connected in the second inning. He went deep again leading off the fourth before adding a late RBI single.
SEATTLE (AP) — Victor Robles hit a two-RBI double, Dylan Moore homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers and American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal 3-2 on Wednesday.
Luis Castillo (1-1) went seven innings, giving up two runs on five hits with two walks and five strikeouts. Gabe Spier pitched a 1-2-3 eighth and Andres Munoz survived a rocky ninth for his third save and prevent a Tigers’ sweep of the three-game series.
Robles’ second-inning drive to the left-center went over the glove of Ryan Kreidler to bring home Moore and J.P. Crawford.
HOUSTON (AP) — Wilmer Flores homered again and Luis Matos and LaMonte Wade Jr. also went deep to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 6-3 win over the Houston Astros on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.
It’s the fourth home run this season for Flores, who hit just four in 71 games last season. His four homers were tied with Aaron Judge, Kyle Tucker and Seiya Suzuki for second-most in the majors entering Wednesday night’s games.
Flores got things going with his two-run shot to the seats in left field off Framber Valdez (1-1) with one out in the first.
Joel Embiid had said earlier this season his troublesome left knee might require another surgery and a “lengthy recovery” process. He was not wrong.
Embiid is set to “undergo arthroscopic surgery next week to address his left knee,” the 76ers announced Wednesday.
This is the same knee Embiid had meniscus surgery on in early 2024. After that, he pushed to return for last season’s playoffs. While he averaged 33 points and 10.8 rebounds a game, Embiid was not his dominant self, shot 44.4%, and both he and the 76ers were bounced in the first round by the Knicks.
