Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been accused of punching and flashing a gun at a 17-year-old and threatening a mall security guard.

also mall cop, lol

In police records obtained by Molly Hensley-Clancy of the Washington Post, Morant was accused of punching the teen "12-13 times" during a pickup basketball game at the 23-year-old's house last summer.

Morant told police in an interview he "swung first" in the alleged fight with the teenager, but he was acting in self-defense because the teenager threw a basketball at his head and stepped toward him.

2.0 incoming?

The Pacers' traveling party also said someone in a "slow-moving SUV" that Morant was riding in "trained a red laser on them." It was unclear if the laser was attached to a gun.

This one kinda came out of nowhere
