The Memphis Grizzlies suspended star point guard Ja Morant for one game due to conduct detrimental to the team, it was announced Saturday.

The suspension by the Grizzlies comes one day after a frustrated Morant told reporters to "go ask the coaching staff" about his struggles during Memphis' 117-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

Morant was held to a season-low eight points, going 3-of-14 from the field, and seven assists. Asked about what he noticed in the game, Morant was again terse.

"According to them, probably don't play me, honestly," Morant said.
