Ja Morant’s Creative Grenade Celebration After NBA Finger Gun Fine

NBA fans might be surprised by Ja Morant’s latest celebration, which is likely to raise eyebrows in the league.

Recently, Ja Morant’s playful finger guns celebration resulted in a hefty $75,000 fine from NBA commissioner Adam Silver. The incident occurred during a game against the Golden State Warriors, where he initially received a warning, but repeated the gesture two nights later against the Miami Heat. Interestingly, Morant had previously faced a suspension for the first 25 games of the 2023-24 season due to troubling social media posts involving firearms.

In light of this recent fine, Morant had to innovate his celebrations, leading to a hilarious new approach. He replaced gun imagery with something more unconventional: hand grenades. This was showcased during the Grizzlies’ game against the struggling Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night, adding a touch of humor to the situation.

Fans have also shared their reactions, with many enjoying Morant’s new grenade celebration.

While some may argue that sports should distance themselves from violent imagery, others find Morant’s response to the fine creatively brilliant. It certainly adds a layer of comedy to the narrative surrounding his previous celebrations.

Interestingly, just days before Morant’s new celebration, a Twitter user suggested he should adopt the grenade motif. It seems they had an inside scoop on his next move!

As the Grizzlies navigate the end of a tumultuous season, which has resulted in the dismissal of head coach Taylor Jenkins, a matchup against a team like the Hornets could be just what they need to regain their momentum.
