Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant is making waves with his audacious new celebration, and he’s not backing down anytime soon! In a bold statement before their matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the 25-year-old declared he’ll keep his grenade throw celebration until someone speaks up.

Morant said, "That’s my celebration now until somebody else has a problem with it, and I’ll find another one!" This playful declaration comes after he faced backlash for a previous celebration involving finger guns, which landed him a hefty $75,000 fine from the NBA.

To steer clear of further penalties, Morant introduced his grenade celebration during a recent victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Following a stunning three-pointer, he dramatically mimicked pulling a pin from a grenade and tossing it into the crowd, covering his ears as if bracing for an explosion.

Morant was quick to reintroduce this captivating celebration again on Thursday after sinking another three-pointer, though the night ended on a disappointing note for the Grizzlies, losing 141-125 to the Timberwolves.

The two-time All-Star’s recent antics come amid a tumultuous season, having faced two suspensions in 2023 for incidents involving firearms, including a significant 25-game ban to kick off the 2023-24 season.

With Thursday’s defeat, the Grizzlies slipped to seventh place in the competitive Western Conference standings. They’re gearing up for critical matchups against the Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks this weekend, as they fight to solidify their playoff position.
