Ex-NBA Star Claims Grizzlies Chose Coaches Over Ja Morant – 'They’re Siding With This Staff'

The Memphis Grizzlies believed Ja Morant‘s reaction to the media was inappropriate; therefore, they punished the star for one game. Reporters wanted to know what happened with Morant and the Grizzlies after they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 117–112. He only scored eight points in his thirty minutes of play and was mostly inactive. As a result, he advised reporters to inquire with the coaching staff. Following these events, there have been rumors of a potential trade centered around the point guard. Many believe that it’s only a matter of time until the franchise decides to trade Morant. There have also been reports that several teams are monitoring the situation in Memphis. Former NBA star DeMarcus Cousins took the time to address what’s going on within the Grizzlies’ organization. According to Cousins, the franchise has given up on Morant after siding with the staff.
