Grizzlies guard Ja Morant did not earn a spot on any of the three All-NBA teams on Wednesday, and in the long run the snub will end up costing him approximately $39 million.

The NBA released its All-NBA teams on Wednesday, an annual tradition of honoring the top players from the season. But as much as the day is about applauding great performances, it’s also about tracking the reactions from players who felt snubbed by being left off the illustrious lists.
Grizzlies star Ja Morant could likely be considered among the aggrieved.

According to Gustavo Guimaraes of Territorio MLS, Alves’s name appears on a document which was released by Brazilian authorities, indicating he’d received R$60,000 (roughly $12,100 USD) to be booked in a match against the LA Galaxy.
