The Warriors emerged victorious with a score of 134-125 in their game against the Grizzlies.
Morant, aged 25, has previously been suspended twice by the NBA for displaying a handgun on social media.
The two-time All-Star was suspended for eight games without pay in March 2023 after posting a video on Instagram Live with a firearm.
Another video of Morant posing with a gun surfaced online, resulting in an investigation by the NBA and a 25-game suspension at the start of the 2023-24 season.
