Ja Morant found himself in deep waters last month due to a controversial act on the court. He used a finger-gun taunt during a game, that cost him $75,000 in fine. So, the Grizzlies superstar switched things up. Following the penalty, he let go of the initial celebration, but introduced a new move to his arsenal – Imitating throwing a grenade into the crowd and covering his ears after a made bucket. Turns out, Braves’ star Ronald Acuna Jr. loved it.
During today’s Padres clash, Acuna hit a home run early in the game. Hyped after the amazing hit, he paid homage to Morant by imitating his hand grenade celebration. Well, this gesture could cause problems for Ronald, in the form of a potential fine.
