There is one NBA player that consistently finds himself in the news for the wrong reasons.
That is Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant.
He is a talented player that can not seem to stay out of trouble off the court.
Morant has now allegedly been seen holding a gun twice on Instagram Live.
The first time he got a small punishment from the NBA.
He was suspended eight games during last season.
But you can assume that Morant will receive a much tougher punishment this time around.
Former NBA player Charles Barkley said some interesting words about Morant on the Pat McAfee Show.
He said Morant is “crying out for help.”
“Ja Morant is crying out for help and I’m really hoping the best for him..
I try and tell all these young guys in the league to surround themselves with the right people”

Barkley talked about how all these young NBA players need to “surround themselves with the right people.”
Morant needs to have a group of people around him that will tell him what he should and should not be doing.
Many famous athletes have friends that stay close to them because of the money they make.
But Morant needs to find someone that needs to give him a wake-up call.
The Grizzlies have the future of their franchise invested in Morant.
They need to step up and get their star player the help he needs.
We have seen many times in the past that the fame is too much for young NBA players.
It has gotten to Morant’s head and now he consistently finds himself in trouble.
Morant is only 23 years old and still has his whole career ahead of him.
But he must get some help for his off-court issues.
