Grizzlies star Ja Morant debuts new grenade celebration after being fined by NBA for gun taunt

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant seems determined to test the patience of the NBA's league office. Days after being fined $75,000 for repeatedly using a finger-gun taunt, Morant debuted a new celebration Tuesday that could once again draw the attention of the NBA.

During the team's 124-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets, Morant mimicked throwing a grenade into the crowd after hitting a three. The sequence was captured in a now-deleted video on Twitter. After hitting the shot, Morant mimed pulling out the grenade's pin, threw the grenade into the crowd and covered his ears during the mock explosion.
