Tikteknu: today's summary clip in sports, 12.3 (Sport1)
The unflattering reports continue about Jay Morant, the star of the Memphis Grizzlies, who was suspended from the team after brandishing a gun in a strip club in Denver and has since become the focus of public criticism in the US. And according to the footage and evidence, it turns out that the basketball player was partying wildly at the infamous club. The
new footage from the night of March 2 shows the star in a back room at Shotgun Willie's in Glendale, Colorado, sitting on a couch with half-naked strippers dancing on him - and nearly every inch of the floor covered in cash ! "The whole room was full of money," said one of the workers there, "a real pile, you need a rake to clean there."

The 23-year-old guard, who signed a five-year contract with the Grizzlies last year that could give him as much as $231 million, spent at least $50,000 in cash tips during two nights of entertainment at the club, according to local employees.
"It took us forever to count it," said a dancer on the spot.
Morant arrived at the club with a friend and two security guards around 1:30 a.m., just hours after the Grizzlies won in Houston.
Just 80 minutes after the team's plane landed in Denver, the Memphis star snuck through the back door of the club and into the VIP room, paying a starting sum of $1,000 just to rent the room.
"He was there to party, he wanted some girls in the room," the insider said.
"The music was very, very gangster."
He then paid for four female dancers and a valet who poured bottles of drinks into the room, and ordered a meal that included a basket of smoked wings, two trays of chicken strips and fries, and one steak - according to the insider and the photos.
"It's a bit excessive, but extravagance is something that very much characterizes this place," said the insider.
Two days later, Morant returned to the scene, after Memphis lost to the Nuggets.
He showed up again, in the wee hours of the night, on Saturday, March 4.
This time he broadcast himself on Instagram Live as he bragged about a gun and sang the lyrics to "Bring 'Em Out" by rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again.

Debra Donfon, 72, one of the owners of the place, confirmed that Morant visited the club twice, but said: "This boy is really cute, he behaved in a very respectful way, sweet, the second night he didn't drink... We had players here from the Denver Nuggets, from the Broncos, some of them were Disrespectful and disgusting. But he was wonderful."
The gun, however, "terrified a lot" of the dancers at the venue.
"He pulled out the white boy's excuse: 'I'm just going through a lot right now in life, so I'm allowed to act like a fool and endanger other people's lives,'" said Mehan.
Donaphon said she and police reviewed security footage from Morant's infamous second night, claiming "nobody saw a gun."
Glendale police said they investigated Morant but determined there was insufficient evidence to charge him with a crime.
However, as I recall, following the public outcry over the live video of the gun, Morant apologized to the team and the public for his actions.
