Ja Morant and Coach Tuomas Iisalo Had Heated Locker Room Exchange While Playing vs Lakers

Per Brett Siegel, Iisalo challenged Morant at halftime to “be better and lift the team’s energy” despite a 14-point lead. The criticism reportedly didn’t sit well with Morant, who responded that Iisalo’s constant substitutions were hurting team rhythm. Voices were raised, and Iisalo singled Morant out for lack of effort and leadership. Grizzlies are off to a shaky 3-6 start.
