Ja Morant is allegedly running around Memphis like he is the biggest gangsta in town.
Memphis Grizzlies All-Star guard Ja Morant has not only been accused of punching a teenager and pulling a gun on him but he also is accused of threatening the head of security at a Memphis mall last summer per a police report obtained by The Washington Post.
In the report, the security guard said Morant made threatening remarks while a person with the Grizzlies guard struck him.
The entire altercation began after Ja’s mother had a dispute with an employee at a Finish Line store within the mall, which led her to call her son. He allegedly showed up with as many as nine people, but they were told to leave by the head of security. However, they refused which prompted the police to arrive.
A “verbal confrontation” transpired and then a member of Morant’s group pushed the security guard in the head.
According to the police report, Morant then said “let me find out what time he gets off,” which made the guard want to file a report as he felt “threatened” by Morant’s statement.

No arrests were made.
The incident with the teenager happened four days later.
Both allegations are emerging about a month after several of Morant’s acquaintances allegedly threatened Indiana Pacers staffers with a red laser.
The Grizzlies reportedly declined comment, while an NBA spokesperson said the league “takes allegations of inappropriate conduct very seriously.”
