The Memphis Grizzlies are taking measures to leave cities early during road trips to avoid more controversies among their players.
Unveiled in a new report by The Athletic, the Grizzlies have been leaving “party” cities early and monitoring players’ activities during road trips, fearing situations could get out of hand.
Morant’s Strip Club Incident Has Ripple Effect
The added caution has been linked to Grizzlies star Ja Morant’s behavior after he snuck a handgun into a Denver strip club on Mar. 4 and flashed the weapon on his Instagram Live stream.
The Tigers pulled off the upset of the tournament so far, dispatching the Pac-12 champion Wildcats.

A crying fan or cheerleader during March Madness? It’s a tradition unlike any other.
In an exciting 7-10 matchup in the early window of Thursday’s men’s NCAA tournament action, No. 7 Missouri pulled away from No. 10 Utah State late in a hard-fought game in Sacramento, Calif.

Mitchell’s arrest was confirmed by the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office. He was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell and/or deliver in Bonifay, Florida, on the panhandle.
The University of Alabama is currently on spring break.
The Cavaliers guard sits in a very peculiar spot after Thursday’s shocking loss to Furman.
If Kihei Clark’s ill-advised pass that led to a costly Virginia turnover in the Cavaliers’ shocking loss to Furman in the first round of the men’s NCAA tournament looked familiar, that’s because a similar rendition of the late-game heave happened in the 2019 Big Dance.
However, the outcome in ‘19 was far more favorable for Virginia than what happened on Thursday.
