Sharpe previously critiqued Morant after some of his controversies went public. The HOF TE said on his FS1 broadcast that he is “hustling backwards” and needs to “move differently.” Not to forget, Ja Morant’s father and Shannon Sharpe had some heated interactions at an NBA game in January 2023.
The Grizzlies would face the consequences after his actions on Instagram live. The NBA is investigating the situation, and the Grizzlies suspended him for the upcoming two games. Morant is also apologetic for his actions and is taking time off from social media.

Unc, don’t let them get to you! You were warning Ja in a respectful manner.
He should call you and ask how to be a star and on a straight path. Or he needs to call Bron Bron

Shannon was the one who came out telling Ja to stop the antics way early on, told him to focus on ball and ignore the distractions. He just didn’t listen.
