The NBA used to be warnings in the past, but no further penalties on Morant and Golden State Warriors Guard Buddy Hield for their gestures during a game on Tuesday, ESPN reported on Thursday.
The league found that their celebrations were not violent, but were inappropriate and should not be repeated according to the report. The warnings were also issued to both teams.
The Warriors won the game 134-125 in Memphis.
The 25 -year -old morant was exposed twice from the league because she showed a pistol on social media.
The two-time all-star was banned in March 2023 without payment because he had swiveled a firearm in an Instagram live video.
A video of a morant post with a weapon appeared online, which led to the NBA carried out an investigation that led to a 25-game suspension to start the 2023-24 season.
