The Memphis Grizzlies managed to sneak out a victory in their recent face-off against the Sacramento Kings. However, the entire limelight was on Ja Morant as he lost his cool after getting ejected from the court. Morant, who is particularly known for his aggressive play, received a technical foul early on in the game. However, this did not seem to have bothered Morant.
The Grizzlies star once again committed a foul on DeMar DeRozan. As the officials called a foul, Morant completely lost it and went wild in a fit of anger. This led to the officials immediately ejecting the 25-year-old from the game. A major reason for his frustrations might be his poor run in the game. Morant scored just 8 points while shooting 2-13 from the field.
