Ja Morant’s latest sneaker release removed from Nike online store, amid second Instagram gun incident

Ja Morant’s latest sneakers not listed on Nike website 

Ja Morant’s name has been trending all week, once again. This is due to a video from Instagram Live surfacing on Mother’s Day, of the Memphis Grizzlies star waving a gun on IG Live, once again. As a result, Morant went on to be suspended from all team activities.

This is the second time that Morant waved a gun on Instagram Live, since March. At the time, he showed a gun while he was inside a Denver strip club, after the Grizzlies lost to the Nuggets. That resulted in an 8-game suspension, as well as brief counseling at a Florida facility. At this point, many anticipate that Morant could face a 40-game suspension, to start the 2023-24 NBA season.

Meanwhile, it appears that Nike is also distancing themselves from Morant. According to TMZ, the Ja 1 Nike sneakers aren’t seen on Nike’s website. These were the pair that were initially released on April 19. However, the “Hunger” edition of Morant’s sneakers still have a listed May 25 release date.

Furthermore, Morant went on to release a statement, a few days ago. He claimed how he’s disappointed people and has to take full accountability for his actions, while working on himself.
