Ja Morant had a rough night against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. The Memphis Grizzlies star scored just eight points on 2-of-13 shooting and missed all six three-pointers he attempted. Frustration boiled over midway through the fourth quarter when Morant was called for a foul on a DeMar DeRozan jump shot.
While replay showed he bumped DeRozan's body as he went into his shooting motion, Morant disagreed. He grabbed his head and then started punching his hand. As he walked to the bench he had some words for the officials and even pointed at one, which appeared to be the final straw. He was given his second technical foul of the game and headed to the locker room while coach Taylor Jenkins remained behind to continue the animated conversation.
