Back in September 2025, Ja Morant made headlines by taking direct shots at the Memphis Grizzlies coaching staff, which resulted in a one-game suspension for him. Since then, the point guard has been in the spotlight due to his relationship with the team.
In an eyebrow-raising twist, Morant has recently found himself in the headlines once again after a curious incident during the Grizzlies’ last home game. As his teammates showered fans with gratitude by gifting their jerseys, Morant stood on the sidelines, unable to participate.
“He just stood there and watched his teammates give away their jerseys. Who does that? The writing is on the wall.” an unnamed Grizzlies source shared (via Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson).
