(New York, NY) — Do you carry a toy gun around sometimes? Ja Morant’s camp says he did once.
Weeks after Ja Morant’s latest gun incident, people close to the NBA star now are reportedly claiming the weapon in question was fake.
During a Tuesday episode of “The Breakfast Club,” host Claudia Jordan said she has been in contact with Morant’s camp, which is saying the gun the 23-year-old Grizzlies superstar was waving in a May 14th Instagram Live video was nothing more than a toy. And apparently, this is something the NBA knows.
“Adam Silver is still going to go through with the suspension,” Jordan said, “looking like it should be 30 games even though the [NBA] knows it was a toy gun.”
This comes after Silver said he had “uncovered” more information around the incident. With Silver wanting to hold back on announcing anything until after the Finals, it is impossible to verify Jordan’s claims.
