Ja Morant's new celebration during games has drawn attention following previous fines related to his gun gesture. After being fined $75,000, Morant adopted a grenade toss celebration to replace the gun salute, showcasing a playful defiance against the league’s disciplinary methods. When questioned about the potential for more fines with this new celebration, he expressed nonchalance, stating it will remain his routine until it becomes an issue. This witty approach challenges the inconsistency of how the NBA penalizes players for their on-court celebrations, prompting speculation about future antics.
I admire this tactic from Morant. What better way to demonstrate the subjective method through which celebration-related fines get doled out than to keep goading Silver with increasingly zany deployments of invisible weapons?
That's my celebration now until somebody else has a problem with it, and I'll find another one.
