Grizzlies’ Ja Morant nearly gets into a brawl with Hawks’ Mouhamed Gueye

It did not take long for Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant to get into another scuffle. But this time, it is not with his teammate.

The Grizzlies faced the Atlanta Hawks at FedExForum on Wednesday, and things got heated in the second quarter. Morant tried to attack the rim but was bodied up by Hawks center Mouhamed Gueye. No foul was called.

Morant fell to the ground and tried to recover the ball. Gueye tied him up. As soon as Morant stood up, he pushed Gueye from behind, prompting the latter to retaliate and grab the former’s jersey.

Fortunately, it did not escalate into a full riot as cooler heads prevailed, with Morant even laughing.

It was the controversial guard’s second game back from a calf injury.

Morant had an altercation with Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. during a shootaround ahead of their game against the Orlando Magic in London.
