Ja Morant’s friends allegedly threatened Pacers staff w/ red-laser during dispute | NBA | UNDISPUTED

According to a report from The Athletic, members of the Indiana Pacers traveling party were aggressively confronted by acquaintances of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant following their game on January 29th. Two members of the Pacers party said a red laser was shined on them and they believed it was attached to a gun. The NBA conducted an investigation and confirmed there was some form of a confrontation but no evidence of a weapon being used was found. One of Ja Morant’s friends was banned from the Grizzlies arena after the league-led probe. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe react.

The sad thing is many of these young men have more than company in their life. They have family and loved ones that continue to spend their wealth. But many times fall to only say what they want to hear for there existing on their profits.. and there's also a margin of those that cannot change the course of someone so young with so much wealth. 🤔
