(CNN) The NBA’s Memphis Grizzlies announced Saturday that Ja Morant “will be out of the team for at least the next two games” after an Instagram Live post showed him holding what appeared to be a gun.
The league is investigating the star point guard and the video, according to NBA insiders.
“We are aware of a social media post involving Ja Morant and are investigating it,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania of The Athletic.
In the clip, published early Saturday morning and widely shared on social media, the 23-year-old briefly flashes what appears to be a gun while allegedly listening to music at a nightclub, according to Wojnarowski.
CNN reached out to the NBA and Morant’s representation for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
The rest of the team travels to Los Angeles to face the Clippers on Sunday and the Lakers on Tuesday, both at Crypto.com Arena.
