6686 Sports November News Yahoo Sports reporter Kelly Iko reported some details about Morant and coach Isalo in the game against the Grizzlies and Rockets.
Kelly Iko wrote in the article: In the Grizzlies' game against the Rockets, Morant's body language seemed a bit out of place during the dull shooting practice in the morning, and he was completely out of competitive shape in the evening game. Except forMorant and Isalo had a brief strategic explanation in the middle of the fourth quarter when the outcome of the game was decided, Morant did not speak to Isalo.
During the timeout, Morant always stayed alone at one end of the bench, immersed in his own thoughts. Whenever Morant was substituted, Isalo did not shake his hand or pat him to comfort him as usual, and there was a tense atmosphere in the arena.
In the game against the Rockets, Morant made only 6 of 19 shots, scored 17 points, and made 6 errors in 33 minutes of playing time. Morant was previously suspended for one game by the team for publicly expressing dissatisfaction with Isalo after the game.
