Tuomas Iisalo, Ja Morant are ‘moving on’ from the incident that led to the suspension

In the light Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant’s recent suspension for arguing with coaches and misconduct during his postgame media availability, leading to trade speculation, the head coach Tuomas Iisalo cleared the air. The first-year Grizzlies coach says the two have moved on from the incident.

I’m sorry provided an update about where the team stands with Morant following his one-game suspension, according to The Daily Memphian.

“Iisalo said he spoke with Ja Morant and they are moving on,” Hill reported. “He also said Ja Morant is available tonight. He wouldn’t say if he’s starting, but he said they don’t discuss the starting lineup before all games. As far as what happened, he said those conversations are internal.”

Without Morant, the Grizzlies lost to the Toronto Raptors 117-104 on Sunday. Morant will rejoin the Grizzlies when they host the Pistons on Monday.

I’m Draymond Green’s Morant, Grizzly Conspiracy Theory

A war veteran Draymond Green assessed Ja Morant’s suspensionstemmed from disagreements with the Grizzlies’ coaching staff, led by Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisal. For Green, he believes the problems between Morant and the coach boiled over into Friday’s loss to the Lakers, where Morant turned in his worst performance of the young season — eight points on 3-of-14 shooting, including 0-for-6 from deep.

For Green, Morant was sending a message to his coaching staff, he said, according to The Draymond Green Show.

“It’s like I said to Steph, ‘Man, I’m not into it at all. Like, it looked like something happened’ and Steph was like, ‘Huh, there’s a silent protest going on, huh?’ And I said, ‘That’s what it looks like,'” Green said. “And then obviously after the game we saw the comments, and I thought, ‘Yeah. And rightfully so. Something was happening. And when you see this, it takes you into a space of, ‘Is this the beginning of the end?’

Morant and the Grizzlies will look to improve to 4-4 on Monday.
