Ja Morant is a 29 percent 3-point shooter but is now 6 for 8 against the #Celtics this season. #Grizzlies – 8:16 PM

Motivation for coaching change in Memphis reportedly was to ‘optimize’ Ja Morant
Morant was no fan of the Grizzlies’ new offense, which was forced on coach Taylor Jenkins by management, who fired Jenkins.

Shams Charania: The league’s probe will also look into a gesture by Warriors guard Buddy Hield ahead of Morant, sources said. League officials will talk to involved parties as soon as Wednesday. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / April 2, 2025
Several Warriors players objected to Morant’s gesture, with Draymond Green saying something to a referee and Steph Curry visibly pointing at Morant and Quinten Post seen with a shocked face behind other Warriors players. (Hield himself dropped the gesture and pointed at Morant, too.) Referees assessed technical fouls to both Hield and Morant, which kept the end of the game moving without any stoppage. -via San Francisco Chronicle / April 2, 2025
