Ja Morant mimics throwing grenade as new 3-point celebration after being fined by NBA

A message from the NBA has led to Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant breaking out a new 3-point celebration. Morant played his first NBA game on Tuesday since a warning from the league and a $75,000 fine.

It didn't take Morant long to make a 3-pointer against the Charlotte Hornets at the Spectrum Center. The Grizzlies star connected on a 3-pointer in the first quarter. After making the shot, Morant ran back on defense while covering his ears with his hands.

His new 3-point celebration appeared to mimic throwing a grenade.
