Ja Morant was frustrated after a rough shooting night (3-of-14) and scoring just eight points in a loss to the Lakers on Halloween. After the game, he threw the coaches under the bus.
The next afternoon, the Grizzlies suspended Morant one game for “conduct detrimental to the team.”

Morant will miss Sunday night’s game at Toronto.
After Friday night’s loss to the Lakers, Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo reportedly challenged Morant’s leadership and effort in front of the team, reports Shams Charania of ESPN. Following that, Morant appeared to blame the coaches when speaking to reporters. Check out this exchange (via Lopo on X).
