Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> star Ja Morant was suspended at least two games on Saturday after he appeared to hold a gun in a video posted to social media.<\/p>\n

As the drama unfolded during the day, clever NBA fans poked fun at the situation and resurfaced a video comparing Morant to the Papa Doc character from the movie “8 Mile.” In the scene, Eminem\u2019s character B-Rabbit reveals personal information about his opponent, showing the monotonous average life he was living while posing as a gun-toting gangster.<\/p>\n

The clip put Eminem\u2019s verse over photos of the Grizzlies guard to try and bring Morant down a peg.<\/p>\n

Morant streamed the video<\/a> on his Instagram Live and a screenshot of him appearing to hold the gun was quickly circulated around social media outlets. The video was streamed hours after the Grizzlies played the Denver Nuggets early Saturday morning. The Grizzlies were set to take on the Clippers and Lakers in their upcoming games in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Morant issued an apology.<\/p>\n

“I take full responsibility for my actions last night,” Morant said. “I’m sorry to my family, teammates, coaches, fans, partners, the city of Memphis and the entire Grizzlies organization for letting you down. I’m going to take some time away to get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress and my overall well-being.”<\/p>\n

The gun incident is the latest in a string of controversies looming over the superstar point guard. Morant actions were investigated<\/a> after a Jan. 29 incident in Memphis that he said led to a friend, Davonte Pack, of his being banned from home games for a year.<\/p>\n

Morant and Pack also are involved in a civil lawsuit brought after an incident this past summer in which a 17-year-old alleged that they assaulted him at Morant\u2019s home. The Shelby County District Attorney\u2019s Office said in January that it was “aware of the incident, and after careful review of the facts, decided that there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case.”<\/p>\n
