The timing of Morant’s latest gesture is particularly notable, as the announcement of the NBA’s decision came just hours before the Grizzlies faced off against the Miami Heat. Undeterred by the league’s warning, Morant continued his celebration style, which he has been using throughout the season. His antics drew both laughter and concern, particularly from NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, who commented on the situation during a post-game analysis.
