In recent years, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has found itself amid multiple controversies.

Each season introduces a fresh wave of contentious situations sparking the interest of fans, who seem to thrive on the scandals more than the sports.

Despite misdoings by the players and their subsequent online reprimands, the order eventually prevails. This cycle of controversy and normality in the NBA appears to be an interesting drama for many.

They offer fans a chance to see behind the veil of these usually untouchable stars. Some issues might be grave while others may just be gossip; what's consistent is the eager anticipation of the NBA community, notably on NBA Twitter.

Ja Morant

Consider Memphis Grizzlies point guard, Ja Morant. He faced a 25-game suspension at the onset of the 2023-24 NBA season for multiple incidents involving firearms.

His inappropriate conduct first came to light in March when he was spotted brandishing a gun at a strip club in Denver's suburbs.

Consequently, he faced an eight-game suspension and underwent a counseling program in Florida.
