The two-time National Basketball Association
(NBA) All-Star previously said he planned to take some "time
away" and apologized.
The GPD said it was made aware of an incident involving "a
prominent NBA player singing and holding what appeared to be a
firearm by the butt end of a gun" at Shotgun Willies, a local
club, and conducted an investigation.
"GPD was not able to determine that probable cause existed for
the filing of any charges," the department said in a statement,
adding that no disturbances were reported as a result of the
incident.
Morant, who is averaging 27.1 points, 8.2 assists and 6.0
rebounds in 53 games this season, missed Sunday's game against
the Clippers and Tuesday's game against the Lakers after the
Grizzlies said they would suspend him for at least two games.
The team said on Wednesday that Morant would remain away from
the team for at least the next four games. The Grizzlies are
third in the Western Conference.
