Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will not face criminal charges stemming from his Instagram Live video in which he appeared to display a handgun at a nightclub, the Glendale, Colorado, Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon.
Shortly afterward, the Grizzlies announced that Morant will be away from the team for at least four more games. That means the earliest the All-Star guard could potentially return is March 17 against the San Antonio Spurs.
In their news release Wednesday, Glendale police say they conducted an investigation after being alerted to the video streamed on Morant's Instagram channel, determining that the incident took place at a strip club called Shotgun Willie's early Saturday, hours after Memphis' loss to the Denver Nuggets, but that there "was not enough available evidence to charge anyone with a crime.
