Kevin Durant Trolls Ja Morant's Dad on Video, Says Grizzlies PG 'Don't Wanna Be Here'

Houston Rockets star Kevin Durant had some choice trash talk for the father of Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant on Thursday night.

At one point during Houston's 124-109 win, Durant looked courtside and told Tee Morant, "Your son don't wanna be here."

Morant's future in Memphis is increasingly a topic of discussion.

The Grizzlies suspended the two-time All-Star for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, which resulted from a reportedly tense exchange between he and head coach Tuomas Iisalo.

Upon returning in a 114-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons, Morant reflected that he's not experiencing any "joy" on the court.

In a perhaps foreboding sign, that's basically what Jimmy Butler said publicly before he and the Miami Heat engaged in a bitter standoff that culminated in his February trade to the Golden State Warriors.

The Athletic's Sam Amick reported Wednesday the Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves have shown a level of interest in Morant. The NBA insider also cautioned against any rushes to judgment given the 26-year-old's value to the Grizzlies as both a lead star and the face of the franchise.

Durant's remarks are a sign that other players around the NBA are aware of the unfolding saga involving Memphis and Morant.
