Details Emerge on Ja Morant’s Tense Locker Room Confrontation with Grizzlies Coach Before Suspension
The Memphis Grizzlies were 3-2 entering their Friday night Emirates NBA Cup matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers .. It turned into a rough night for the franchise as the Grizzlies suffered a 117-112 home loss. Memphis star Ja Morant had a disappointing eight-point outing before sharing his displeasure in postgame media comments.
According to ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania, Morant has been suspended one game for conduct detrimental to the team. He added the suspension is a result of the comments which challenged Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo following the Friday night loss where Morant responded in a “tone deemed inappropriate,” Charania said, citing sources.
Morant will miss Sunday's game against the Raptors as a result of the suspension, which reportedly stems from an exchange with head coach Tuomas Iisalo.
