Memphis Grizzlies Star Point Guard Yes Morant was about a new party in the team’s 124-100 win over Charlotte Hornets Tuesday.
Morant, 25, flashed gun movements during matches last week and were fined $ 75,000 by the NBA for “twice making an inappropriate gesture in the Gaming Court.” He was warned by NBA that gesture “could be interpreted in a negative light.”
After being fined for the gun movements, Morant debuted a grenade throwing party in his place in the team’s victory over Hornets.

Morant first made gestures in the second quarter. He went to Santi Aldama, draining a 3-point shot. When Morant saw the ball walking through the hoop, he was going to pull the pin out of a grenade and throw it.
The two-time all-star made the celebration again in the third quarter on its own. With Grizzlies up 92-70 with less than two minutes left in the third quarter, Morant pulled up from the top of the key and made a 3-pointer.
Morant then put the imaginary grenade to the mouth, was to pull the pin by biting it and threw it.

He then bent himself and covered his ears and stiffened for an imaginary explosion as he pulled back down the field.
Even after Morant checked out of the game with over nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, he made the grenade throw celebration from the bench.
NBA did not respond immediately when he was asked to comment on Morant’s new celebration of Pakinomist Digital.
Morant has been suspended before for gun -related problems.
