Ja Morant's father, Tee Morant, was asked to leave the building in the closing minutes of the Memphis Grizzlies' 125-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. He was asked to leave because of disrespectful comments directed at the officiating crew. Crew chief Josh Tiven said he was aware the man being ejected was Ja Morant's father. Tee Morant was sitting in a courtside seat when security escorted him from the floor with 2:10 left.
