The Memphis Grizzlies managed to sneak out a victory in their recent face-off against the Sacramento Kings. However, the entire limelight was on Ja Morant as he lost his cool after getting ejected from the court. Morant, who is particularly known for his aggressive play, received a technical foul early on in the game. However, this did not seem to have bothered Morant.
The Grizzlies star once again committed a foul on DeMar DeRozan. As the officials called a foul, Morant completely lost it and went wild in a fit of anger. This led to the officials immediately ejecting the 25-year-old from the game. A major reason for his frustrations might be his poor run in the game. Morant scored just 8 points while shooting 2-13 from the field.

You may recall that Jeff Bezos had interest in purchasing the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder, but they wound up selling the franchise to the Josh Harris-led group for $6.05 billion.
There have also been rumors about Bezos potentially buying the Seattle Seahawks. Since Paul Allen’s passing in 2018, the team has been run by his sister, Jody Allen.
Speculation is growing about New York Jets owner Woody Johnson potentially selling the team as the Jets finish out another disastrous season. The Jets entered 2024 with Super Bowl expectations, but Aaron Rodgers and company have been a giant disappointment with a 3-8 record.
According to Bovada, Jeff Bezos is now the betting favorite to purchase the Jets from Johnson and take over as their next owner. Johnson has owned the football organization since 2000.
