Ja Morant’s Jab Sparks Clash With Klay Thompson
All of you! Memphis rolled to a 102-96 victory Saturday night, and although Ja Morant missed his third straight game with a calf strain, he still found time to send up smoke from long distances. Klay, who dropped 22 points off the bench and scored 6 of 12 from deep, missed a potential game-tying three in the final seconds — and Ja lost zero time to remind the cameras who he thought was the real shooter of the night.
After the final buzzer, Klay Thompson and Ja Morant came face to face, with footage showing Ja pointing his finger in Klay’s face, prompting Klay to push him away before walking towards him. Teammates quickly rushed to separate them, although what initially triggered Klay’s reaction remains unclear. During Cam Spencer’s live post-game interview, Ja walked up and said: “Tell them who the best shooter in the house was, it wasn’t a Golden State bro.”

Klay did it not let that slide. Back in the locker room, he clapped back, dismissing Morant’s comments as nothing with “intelligent depth“and saying Ja”has a lot to say all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes responsibility.“And he wasn’t done. Klay doubled down and said Ja had been.”he runs his mouth for a long time“, and that is”it’s funny to talk when you’re on the bench.” He even went further, implying that Morant’s off-the-field issues prevented him from living up to his star potential: “We need our best players to be out there…I hate to see that go to waste.”
Fans took to the comments section like it was Game 7
Fans immediately sprinted to The Shade Room’s comments section to throw in their two cents, and the theories were flying. Some housemates joked that Ja must have said something sneaky about Megan Thee Stallion, Klay’s bae, while others defended Klay, saying he was never messy enough for anyone to pick on him like that. A few commentators were completely confused, wondering why Ja was stirring the pot when he wasn’t even playing and was stationed on the bench in a Nike tech.
