Ja Morant films himself holding toy gun
Ja Morant filmed himself holding a toy gun back on May 14 in an effort to show his family and friends that he did not have a real firearm during his now-infamous Instagram Live sesh … and TMZ Sports has just obtained the footage. In the video, you can see Morant — easily identified by his unique tattoos — attempting to show the weapon was nothing more than a lighter. Morant used the flames that came out of the phony gun to ignite some candles … before he appeared to say in the clip, “You hold it, and everything comes out.”

Ja Morant suspendido por 25 partidos. Estará de vuelta en la primera semana de diciembre. A ver si @MemGRIZZ juega el día de Navidad.
Le costará $10.2 millones, a menos que de haber apelación exitosa, la reduzcan.
¿Poca cosa, excesiva o la sanción justa? pic.twitter.com/0scouLcRbR – 10:56 AM
