Ja Morant continues trend of controversial celebrations by mimicking a grenade throw in Grizzlies win over Hornets

By George Ramsay, CNN

(CNN) — Only a few days after Ja Morant was fined by the NBA for a contentious celebration, the Memphis Grizzlies star was at it again.

Having apparently retired the finger-gun gesture which saw him fined $75,000 by the league, Morant celebrated a three-pointer against the Charlotte Hornets by pretending to throw a grenade into the Spectrum Center crowd.

This came in the first quarter of Wednesday’s road game as Morant feigned the pulling of a pin with his teeth before covering his ears with his hands.
