Ja posted four different Instagram stories … with tributes to his mom, dad and daughter before sharing the farewell note.
It’s unclear if the post is a goodbye to social media or something much more serious … as there’s speculation he could be on hard times following his second gun-flashing video in just a few months.

23-year-old Morant was suspended last weekend after the second video surfaced … and the NBA is currently investigating the matter. There’s belief he could be facing a lengthy punishment from the league.
Commissioner Adam Silver said he was “shocked” by Morant’s actions … and while the league’s still looking into the video, he’s “expecting the worst.”
