Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies were dominant in a win against the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, 124-100. Morant led the way with a near double-double, finishing the game with 28 points, five rebounds, and eight assists. Morant never has a night without a controversial moment, and last night was no different.
Morant was fined last week $75,000 after his gun celebration was reprimanded due to his repeated history with firearms. Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas joked Monday night that Morant should throw a grenade to celebrate instead. Arenas has had his fair share of controversial moments with players during his NBA career.

Morant seemingly heard him. After hitting a three-pointer last night against the Hornets, he appeared to mimic throwing a grenade and covered his ears while running back on defense. In the middle of the second quarter, when his teammate Santi Aldama hit a three, Morant threw one more grenade.
NBA fans found it hilarious and outlandish that Morant remains so unserious about everything. Take a look at Morant’s celebration and reactions from fans below.
