Drew Hill: One thing I didn’t note before the game: Steven Adams played 5-on-5 today and he played 5-on-5 in Denver.

Ramona Shelburne: A source told ESPN the incident happened at Shotgun Willie’s, which bills itself as a “gentleman’s club” in Glendale, Colo. Reporting w/ @Elizabeth Merrill -via Twitter @ramonashelburne / March 6, 2023
Police in Colorado said Monday they were investigating Ja Morant’s actions from the weekend after the Memphis Grizzlies star posted an Instagram Live video in which he displayed what appeared to be a gun while at a nightclub. The Glendale Police Department confirmed the incident took place at a bar in Glendale, a small enclave surrounded by Denver and known for its strip clubs and shopping centers. The department said it is investigating whether Morant may have broken any gun laws. -via ESPN / March 6, 2023
Colorado is an open-carry state, although there are exceptions to the law, including the carrying of a firearm on federal property. It is illegal in Colorado to possess a firearm while under the influence of alcohol. NBA rules prohibit a player from possessing a firearm while in team property or traveling on team business. In the video live-streamed by Morant, it is not clear whether he is intoxicated, but others are shown drinking in the video. -via ESPN / March 6, 2023
