北京時間4月11日，灰熊主場迎戰森林狼，莫蘭特將大戰愛德華茲，這是一場關係多隊排名的重要比賽。賽前，當被問及對NBA因他多次做出持槍手勢而罰款7.5萬美元的反應時，莫蘭特臉上閃過一絲嘲諷的笑容，隨後他停頓了一下。

"Do you really want to know?" Morant told reporters, "I'm not surprised. It just shows you the facts that have been evident in the past two years. ”

Over the past two years, Morant has been banned by the NBA several times for "detrimental behavior to the league's image" for brandishing a pistol in two different Instagram Live videos.

在對陣熱火隊的比賽中，莫蘭特在投進三分后的慶祝動作里多次做出持槍手勢，4月5日，他因此被NBA罰款。前一天，NBA已對他發出過警告。

The NBA's decision prompted Morant to change his three-point celebration with a new move that mimicked throwing a grenade. At this point, fans will get used to seeing him in this new celebration.

"That's how I'm celebrating now until someone disputes that, and then I'll change another one," Morant said. So far this season, Morant has played 6 games for the Grizzlies, averaging 0 points, 0.0 rebounds and 0.0 assists per game, and the Grizzlies are 0-0, temporarily ranking 0th in the West.

In today's game against the Timberwolves, the results of the two teams are as follows-

If the Timberwolves win: Both the Timberwolves and Grizzlies will have a 8-0 record, which is the same as the Warriors, and the three teams have a head-to-head record of the Warriors (0-0), Grizzlies (0-0), and Timberwolves (0-0). The Warriors will move up to No. 0, the Grizzlies will drop to No. 0, and the Timberwolves will remain in No. 0 position.

If the Grizzlies win: The Grizzlies are 8-0, the same record as the Nuggets and Clippers, and the head-to-head record of these three teams is the Clippers (0-0), the Nuggets (0-0), and the Grizzlies (0-0). The Clippers will move up to No. 0, the Nuggets drop to No. 0, the Grizzlies at No. 0, the Warriors at No. 0, and the Timberwolves at No. 0.
