The relationship between Ja Morant and the Grizzlies took an unexpected and sudden turn for the worse over the weekend.
On Friday, Morant played a very poor game against the Lakers in Memphis, scoring eight points while shooting 3-for-14 from the floor. Worse than his poor shooting was the lackadaisical attitude Morant had while on the court. Even the untrained eye noticed the star point guard was very passive in his 31 minutes. When he had the ball, Morant wasn’t very interested in attacking the basket and almost looked bored when he didn’t have the ball. As a result the Grizzlies were outscored by four points with Morant on the floor in a game they lost by five.
