The Grizzlies made important decisions to limit players, and Morant left teammates without freedom
The farce is over, Morant is about to return to the arena, now it can only be said that Morant has been rehabilitated, as for whether this is the case, only he knows, don't do what you shouldn't do on the court like the general, then it will be troublesome. The homework of the past few days has been done in vain.
The NBA penalty is an eight-game ban and is expected to see Morant return as soon as next Tuesday, but Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins said in an interview today that Morant will not play next Tuesday. It seems that the team is not ready to return Morant, and with the Grizzlies currently in third place in the West, the team does not need Morant to return to the savior immediately.
But for Morant's attitude, Jenkins is still protective of the calf, saying in the interview that he will give Morant support, teach him to be more responsible, and guide him how to deal with the aftermath, it is clear that after this incident, the situation will become different from the past.
The Grizzlies currently have a 41-27 record, but their 13-22 record on the road is blamed by many team insiders on Morant's lack of maturity and focus.
So, just today, the Grizzlies made the important decision to take steps to limit the nightlife habit of players and return directly to Memphis after a future away game without staying overnight, especially in a bustling city like Miami.
In fact, for such a rule of law symptoms but not a cure, to give an example, Harden was previously in Houston, known as the nightclub prince everyone knows, but Harden at least the body is hollowed out, never cause trouble, not stained with a fishy body, the next day is still 30+ output, no one will blame him, players need to rest and relax can be understood, but to know self-discipline, what should not be touched should be understood.
Because of Morant, the Grizzlies took this measure, which indirectly harmed the interests of other players.
Compared with Miami, Los Angeles, New York and other cities, Memphis is far from it, there are naturally not many categories for entertainment and relaxation, so to play away, many players want to change their mood and feel a wave in different cities in addition to playing, after all, life is greater than basketball.
Being so engaged by Morant, he was very tired from playing away, and he had to leave in a hurry after the end, in case of overtime, the time would be even later, leaving aside the inconvenience of the return trip, the players became tired physically and mentally in addition to physically.
Therefore, while the Grizzlies treat the symptoms but not the root cause, it also makes the players lose the fun of playing on the road.
