Strippers from the club Ja Morant brandished a gun in, say the baller has yet to apologize to them for the incident, and many aren’t holding their breath to receive one.
Morant is just “a boy,” one of the dancers told the New York Post. The 23-year-old is currently serving a suspension after a second incident of brandishing a gun on Instagram Live in mid-May.

“I don’t foresee an apology soon — he’s a boy,” the dancer said of Morant. “I just wonder about how he’s still on the team,” another added.
A third similarly told the Post that Morant needs to be banned “from all clubs and (have) his NBA career taken away.”
“He’s clearly begging for attention and trying to be a baller — he should be banned from all clubs and get his NBA career taken away given our country’s current circumstances on gun violence.”
