But, after the three, Bane taunted Sixers' Caleb Martin by appearing to use his arms as a gun and pretend to shoot Martin.

Bane extended his right arm in the direction of Martin and then pulled it back in a 90-degree angle.

Because Bane and Morant share the floor together, social media was quick to crack jokes.

Early in 2023, Morant was seen brandishing a gun in a Denver nightclub, which landed him an eight-game suspension. Months later, he repeated the offense, and he was sidelined for 25 games.

In July 2022, Morant got into an altercation with some 17-year-olds, but a judge ruled he acted in self-defense. Four days earlier, Morant had allegedly "threatened" the head of security at a Memphis mall, and a member of Morant's group allegedly shoved him in the head. 

Morant is back this season after playing in just nine games last year - he had suffered a season-ending shoulder injury just weeks after coming back from his second suspension.
