Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant is frustrated, averaging a career-low 30 minutes per game and shooting just 38.3% from the field, including 14% from 3. The Grizzlies organization is frustrated, too, suspending Morant for a game over the weekend because of conduct detrimental to the team. What could happen now?
Morant's suspension stemmed from a postgame exchange with coach Tuomas Iisalo after Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Iisalo challenged Morant's leadership, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania, and Morant responded in a tone the franchise deemed inappropriate.
