The Grizzlies are in the midst of a stretch of nine out of 10 losses, and it all began with Ja Morant's postgame comments about the coaching staff that led to a one-game suspension. Morant connected on a game-winning floater with 7.3 seconds remaining to help the Grizzlies defeat the Phoenix Suns and move on to a 3-2 record before the fall off.
What has followed has been constant trade speculation as many determine whether he was trying to force his way out, or if the Grizzlies would be interested in moving on after standing with him throughout his rough patches over the years.
