A report from The Athletic states that Ja Morant’s acquaintances confronted members of the Pacers’ traveling party near the team’s bus in the loading area of FedExForum after the Grizzlies’ Jan. 29 victory.

Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said the Grizzlies will do their due diligence at the trade deadline, but he and general manager Zach Kleiman “believe in this group.”

Dillon Brooks was suspended one game without pay by the NBA for his flagrant 2 foul on Cleveland guard Donovan Mitchell on Thursday night, Feb. 2. 

The Grizzlies security team has been quick to break up skirmishes and protests. Thursday night they showed how it's done yet again.
