Here’s the latest Ja-dropping news with troubled NBA superstar Ja Morant and his gun travails.

A report says the Memphis Grizzlies guard’s camp is claiming that the purported handgun Morant is shown wielding in the latest social-media video — in which he appears to be again recklessly brandishing a supposed firearm — in fact, was a toy.

A toy gun.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

In March, the NBA suspended Morant for eight games for an incident in which fans around the world, via social media, saw video of him proudly showing off a handgun inside a Colorado night club.

Last month came another viral social media video, in which Morant again appears to be carelessly showing off a handgun, this time in a car.

Last week, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league will wait until after the NBA Finals to announce Morant’s latest suspension.

The Grizzlies already have suspended the 23-year-old.

But reporter Claudia Jordan has reported that her sources say a relative of Morant’s in the back seat of the car, depicted in the second video, “is not real, and (the relative) was playing around with it. Passed it to Ja, and that got caught on the live (Instagram post).”

The NBA has that video, Jordan reported, and “they said the gun looks extremely fake, like it’s obviously a toy gun. But according to my source, allegedly Adam Silver is still gonna go through with the suspension. Looking like it should be about 30 games, even though they know it was a toy gun.”

ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski has said he believes Morant’s next suspension will be 17 games.
