Collinear laser spectroscopy was performed on Ga ($Z=31$) isotopes at ISOLDE, CERN. A gas-filled linear Paul trap (ISCOOL) was used to extend measurements towards very neutron-rich isotopes ($N=36--50$). A ground state (g.s.) spin $I=1/2$ is measured for $^{73}\mathrm{Ga}$, being near degenerate with a $3/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ isomer ($75\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}\ensuremath{\lesssim}{E}_{\mathrm{ex}}\ensuremath{\lesssim}1\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$). The $^{79}\mathrm{Ga}$ g.s., with $I=3/2$, is dominated by protons in the $\ensuremath{\pi}{f}_{5/2}$ orbital and in $^{81}\mathrm{Ga}$ the $5/{2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ level becomes the g.s. The data are compared to shell-model calculations in the ${f}_{5/2}p{g}_{9/2}$ model space, calling for further theoretical developments and new experiments.
