Yes Morant posts cryptic messages on his Instagram and photo of himself with the word ‘bye’

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant shared a series of cryptic messages to his family on social media 11 days after his latest gun controversy.

The since-deleted posts were shared with his 9.6 million followers on Instagram and addressed his sister, mother, father and daughter before a final post said “bye.”

The posts come 11 days after the 23-year-old was caught waving a gun live on Instagram for the second time.

The first post on his Wednesday morning Instagram story was directed to his sister Teniya, who also plays basketball and recently committed to the Mississippi Valley state.

Morant shared a photo of Teniya, 18, from announcing her commitment to the Devilettes, writing above it: “Congratulations girl. live yours,” with a blue heart emoji.

He then shared a message for his mother, telling her he loved her alongside a photo of her walking to court from the stands.

He had a similar post for his “pops” Tee, who played collegiate basketball for Claflin University, and added a photo of the pair embracing on the next post.

“You are the best baby girl love you,” the next message read, as Morant spoke to his daughter Kaari Jaidyn Morant, 3, who he shares with ex-girlfriend KK Dixon.

The last photo was of himself being interviewed, on which he wrote the word ‘bye’.

All messages have since been deleted.

The 23-year-old was suspended “from all team activities” by the Grizzlies earlier this month after brandishing a gun on Instagram for the second time in two months.

Morant was seen on Instagram Live on Sunday in the driver’s seat of a car holding a gun.

The clip came just two months after he was seen in a Denver strip club with a gun in an Instagram video that sparked a police and league investigation.

In two separate messages, he told both his mother and father that he loved them

In the latest clip, Morant was seen on Instagram Live in the driver’s seat of a car with a gun in his hand as he sang along to rapper YoungBoy NBA’s song “1.5.”

After revealing the firearm, the person recording the video immediately turned the camera away from Morant for the rest of the clip that has surfaced.

Morant acknowledged that he had disappointed many people such as his teammates, fans and the league with the latest incident and insisted he still had work to do. He didn’t say sorry though.

The point guard’s statement, shared by Adrian Wojnarowski, read: “I know that I have disappointed many people who have supported me. This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to be done. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full responsibility for my actions. I am determined to keep working on myself.’

In a statement to DailyMail.com, the league said, “We are aware of the social media post involving Ja Morant and are in the process of gathering more information.”

Morant’s incident in March showed him dancing topless at a strip club before holding a gun to the side of his head.

Hours after the incident, it was reported that it was under investigation by the NBA and that Morant had been suspended by the Grizzlies for “at least two games” while the investigation continued.

Morant then issued a statement taking responsibility for his actions and explaining that he would be taking time off from the game to work on his well-being.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver admitted he was “shocked” by the latest incident

An investigation by the Glendale, Colorado Police Department resulted in no criminal charges and found no wrongdoing.

Although Morant took time off for his well-being, including a brief stint in a Florida treatment facility, he met with Silver where he was told he would be suspended for eight games – including time he had already served.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver revealed last week that he also discussed the seriousness of Morant’s actions with him and came away with the impression that the point guard understood the seriousness.

However, after the latest incident, it seems Morant hadn’t learned his lesson from the conversation with the commissioner and Silver admitted he was ‘shocked’ when the clip surfaced on Sunday.

“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw that video this weekend,” he told ESPN Tuesday night ahead of the NBA Draft Lottery.

“Now we are investigating it. We are trying to find out exactly what happened. Again, the video is grainy and all, but I’m assuming the worst.’
