Grizzlies' Morant doing grenade celebration until it's 'a problem'

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Ja Morant got in trouble again for aiming an imaginary gun to celebrate 3-pointers, so he has gone to a different make-believe violent way to mark a long-distance shot.

The Memphis Grizzlies leading scorer, who was fined $75,000 recently for mimicking pointing a long gun after a basket from outside the arc, acted like he was pulling the pin and tossing a grenade in Thursday night's 141-125 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Morant, who was 5-of-13 from 3-point range, in some cases even covered his ears after the windmill-like hurl of the invisible explosive.
