The video, which was broadcast on Instagram Live and has since been removed, shows Morant sitting in the front passenger seat of a car, holding what appears to be a handgun in his left hand. The details and date of the incident remain unclear.
A previous nightclub incident
Just over two months ago, Morant was filmed intoxicated, brandishing a firearm in a nightclub in Glendale, near Denver (Colorado), after his team’s loss to the Nuggets. Although local police did not pursue Morant, the NBA suspended him for eight games “for detrimental conduct.”
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver described Morant’s behavior as “thoughtless, reckless, and potentially extremely dangerous”.
Following this incident, Morant entered a psychological assistance program in Florida and committed to being “more responsible, wiser, and avoiding all bad decisions” in an interview with ESPN. However, other incidents mar Morant’s career, including a charge of assaulting a 17-year-old teenager in July 2022, for which his representative stated he acted in self-defense.
