Ja Morant had problems with teammates following suspension as Grizzlies star hits trade block
NY Post
An issue with a coach turned into a problem with his teammates.
And now Ja Morant’s days with the Grizzlies may be numbered.
Memphis’ polarizing guard felt “alienated” by his teammates following his one-game suspension by the team earlier this year, according to ESPN, and he ultimately told players and ex-coaches around the league that he wouldn’t play for the franchise anymore.
That may now become a possibility following the bombshell report Friday by ESPN that Memphis is entertaining offers for the seventh-year star.
Morant’s tenure with the Grizzlies has been up and down, featuring some successes on the court — although never past the conference semifinals — and plenty of off-the-court drama, including him twice being suspended for brandishing a weapon in videos seen on social media.
It appears his latest clash with the team may have been the breaking point.
