News of the NBA's warning to Morant surfaced around 11:20 a.m. ET on Thursday. Yet roughly nine hours later, as Morant's Grizzlies faced the Miami Heat, he appeared to make the same gesture again after hitting a 3-pointer.

The NBA sent a warning to Ja Morant but is not expected to penalize the Memphis Grizzlies star further for what appeared to be a gun-related gesture.

However, one of the other major storylines was Ja Morant and Buddy Hield exchanging finger-gun gestures with one another. The two received warnings for their gestures, but that didn't stop Morant during the first half of Thursday's game.
