Ja Morant was sent off shortly before halftime in the Memphis Grizzlies vs Oklahoma City Thunder after two technical fouls dropped his team 20 points. As a result, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder 109 – 115.
It is worth noting that his second technical error came from a verbal exchange with fans sitting near the field. On the way off the field, Morant gave them two thumbs up.
And this conversation continues from the dressing room. Morant is said to have called his father and asked him to give the phone to the fans with whom Morant had interacted. Morant confirmed that he spoke to fans on facetime to thank them for their support.

Morant said after the game: “They came to support us. They came to watch us play. I don’t care about getting fined. I got my first technical error when someone elbowed me in the face and then I got another error while talking to one of my fans. I feel like when these fans come here, going online to buy tickets, they don’t think the referee is going to be Ray Acosta.”
Not only was he sent off, but Ja Morant was also fined $ 35,000 by the NBA for his comments related to game management.
