Even with the firing of Taylor Jenkins, Ja Morant had been out on the Grizzlies according to an NBA GM.
The Memphis Grizzlies star whipped out his finger guns celebration again on Thursday during a game against the Miami Heat, which might be a bit of an issue because the NBA reportedly issued a warning against him Wednesday for the same celebration.

While Morant's off-court escapades seem to have stopped, he remains a question mark in the lineup. Morant returned from suspension last season only to suffer a season-ending injury in January. After recovering from shoulder surgery, Morant has missed another 30 games this season.
