Tuomas Iisalo, the former Paris Basket coach, has already taken steps during his first season on the Grizzlies bench.
After the Finnish coach of the Memphis Grizzlies got into a violent argument with his star Ja Morant, the club suspended Morant for one game due to his behavior harmful to the club. This is what ESPN reports.
Iisalo (43) – who surprisingly won the EuroCup with Paris Basket in 2024 – had clearly criticized Morant for his lack of commitment during a verbal exchange after Friday’s defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. Morant then reacted abusively.
The terrible child
Former Allstar Morant (26 years old) had already stood out on several occasions for sometimes very violent acts of indiscipline. He was suspended twice by the NBA for brandishing a weapon during Instagram livestreams, including once at a strip club.
Iisalo, previously an assistant with the Grizzlies, has an excellent reputation as an expert in the United States. Mephis had a strong start to the season with three wins in six matches.
