Ja Morant again uses finger-gun gesture despite earlier warning from NBA

On Thursday, the NBA issued warnings to Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant and Golden State Warriors guard Buddy Hield after both mimicked shooting a gun during Tuesday's game.

The warning wasn't enough for Morant, who used the same celebration about four minutes into Thursday night's 110-108 victory against the Miami Heat.

Players in the league have been doing that gesture for years, especially after making a three-point shot. Even though the gesture involves pretending to shoot a weapon, players and teams involved in Tuesday's incident said they were not making violent gestures.
