On Saturday night, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant appeared to show off a gun while travelling in a car with friends in an Instagram Live video.
In the video, Morant can be seen dancing to music with companions in the passenger seat.
When he pretended to pull out the pistol for the camera, the friend holding the phone shifted it away from the Grizzly's point guard and toward his shoulder.
On social media, a photo supposedly showing Morant holding the firearm soon went viral.
