Trouble in Memphis? Ja Morant Calls Out Grizzlies Coaches After Loss
Ja Morant averaged a career-low 28.5 minutes and scored a season-low eight points in the Grizzlies' loss despite leading at halftime.
- After Friday's loss at FedExForum, Ja Morant told reporters `Go ask the coaching staff` following the Memphis Grizzlies' 117-112 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers.
- Morant was held to a season-low eight points, shooting 3-for-14 and recording seven assists, and he subbed into the fourth quarter with 5:33 left while averaging a career-low 28.5 minutes through six games.
- The Grizzlies' 27-4 rally helped them score 42 points in the second quarter and lead 69 at the half, but Luka Doncic scored 44 points as the Lakers erased the deficit early in the third.
- Morant's visible frustration prompted first-year Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo to end his postgame conference early, while Jaren Jackson Jr. spoke quietly with Morant in an almost empty locker room.
- After offseason roster and coaching changes, the Grizzlies, now 3-3, traded Desmond Bane and shifted offensive focus following Morant's Oct. 29 game-winner.
