In a surprising turn of events during the Memphis Grizzlies’ 125-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night, Tee Morant, father of star guard Ja Morant, was ejected from the game. With 2:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, security escorted Tee Morant from his courtside seat at FedExForum due to comments directed at the officiating crew via apnews.com

NBA crew chief Josh Tiven confirmed the ejection, stating that Tee Morant was removed for making “overtly disrespectful comments about the integrity of the crew.” via dailymemphian.com

This incident adds to the challenges faced by the Grizzlies, who have been striving to maintain momentum in a competitive Western Conference. The team has not yet released an official statement regarding the ejection.

Tee Morant is a familiar presence at Grizzlies games, often seen supporting his son from courtside seats. His ejection marks a rare occurrence of a player’s family member being removed from an NBA game.

As of now, neither Tee Morant nor Ja Morant has commented publicly on the incident. The Grizzlies are scheduled to face the New Orleans Pelicans in their next game, where they will look to rebound from this loss and any distractions stemming from the ejection.
