The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Phoenix Suns by 30 points on Monday. With this win, the Grizzlies have now won ten games in a row. Their current nature of being unstoppable continued to grow with assurances from their stars Ja Morant and Desmond Bane. Morant bagged 29 points while Bane registered 28 points in the game. Amid their domination, Morant’s celebration after a play left NBA Twitter unimpressed. 

During the third quarter of the game, Morant dribbled toward the paint with Saben Lee, a 10-day contract player, on his tail. As he tried to shoot, the referee called a foul on Lee while Morant tumbled down to the floor and fell on his back. Despite this, Morant’s shot attempt was successful. With this excitement and foul call, Morant danced on the court and mouthed the words “he can’t guard me” while pointing at Lee. Fans were quick to react to the celebration. 

NBA Fans call out Ja Morant 

Fans were quick to point out that Morant was celebrating after a player, who is on a 10-day contract, was guarding him. They stated that he was being cringy. Some fans claimed that they were starting to dislike the Grizzlies star while others encouraged him to relax. Furthermore, fans wrote that Morant can’t guard anyone either. They continued to predict that the Grizzlies star would retire without a ring. Here are some of the comments: 

The game between the Phoenix Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies 

With this loss, the Phoenix Suns’ woes continue as most of their players are inflicted with injuries. Three games before this game, for the Suns, the hope was to capitalize on the winning performance against the Golden State Warriors but this has been to no avail. Their star Mikal Bridges had a 23-point game while Deandre Ayton bagged 18. But this left minimum impact on the scoreboard.
