Cops are now investigating Ja Morant after the NBA superstar was seen on video over the weekend brandishing a firearm. TMZ Sports has learned.
A spokesperson for the Glendale Police Department in Colorado tells us they launched the probe into the matter shortly after Morant went on Instagram Live from what appeared to be a strip club with a gun in his hand.
According to the spokesperson, cops “have confirmed the incident took place at a bar in Glendale” — adding, “We are investigating the matter.”No further details surrounding the probe were given.
As we reported, Morant filmed himself at the Colorado establishment late Friday night/early Saturday morning — hours after the Grizzlies had lost to the Nuggets in Denver.
In the footage, the 23-year-old can be seen and heard rapping along to an NBA YoungBoy song … all while flashing a gun.
