Kevin Durant’s Shade Toward Tee Morant Has Fans Convinced a Trade Is Coming

Houston Rockets’ superstar Kevin Durant, a formidable force on the basketball court and a savvy social media provocateur, displayed his signature style of banter courtside on Wednesday night. He directed a pointed comment at Tee Morant, father of Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, during the Rockets’ decisive 124-109 win at FedExForum. The moment gained traction online when a fan-filmed clip captured Durant approaching Tee Morant, smirking and quipping, “Your son don’t wanna be here… We know it’s your last weekend, enjoy your time.” Laughter erupted from the audience nearby, amplifying the playful yet biting tone of his remark.This jab alluded to recent upheavals plaguing Ja Morant, who faced a one-game suspension due to “conduct detrimental to the team,” amid reports of discord with the coaching staff. While Durant struggled with his shooting, the Rockets claimed their fifth consecutive win, overshadowing the tension enveloping the Grizzlies and their star.
