Rockstar Games affirmed, “We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto.”

Ja Morant’s recent run-ins with NBA regulations, resulting in a 25-game suspension, provided fodder for this gaming gossip. The viral post cleverly played on Morant’s recent firearm incidents shared on social media.

The Memphis Grizzlies, currently navigating the court without Morant, find themselves in a slump with a 1-6 record, the worst in the NBA.

Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. have stepped up, but the team misses Morant’s dynamic playmaking and scoring prowess. Marcus Smart, the newly acquired guard, is yet to fill Morant’s formidable shoes.

As the NBA world awaits Morant’s return on December 19, the GTA community braces for the impending trailer release. Morant, keen on resuming his court duties, has shared glimpses of his in-game gear on Instagram, showcasing his eagerness to contribute to the Grizzlies’ success.
