Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant came close to igniting a bench-clearing confrontation with Atlanta Hawks center Mouhamed Gueye during Wednesday’s matchup at FedExForum in Memphis. The heated moment unfolded in the second quarter when Morant drove to the rim and was body-checked by Gueye, but no foul was called.
After falling, Morant attempted to recover the ball and was tied up by Gueye. As Morant got back to his feet, he pushed Gueye from behind, prompting Gueye to grab his jersey in response. But the situation didn’t escalate further, with Morant later seen smiling on the court.
The incident occurred in a tightly contested game that eventually saw the Hawks edge the Grizzlies 124–122. Morant’s season has been surrounded by off-court drama and trade speculation, and his fiery interaction with Gueye adds another chapter to a campaign punctuated by both key performances and on-court intensity.
