During the Memphis Grizzlies' game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, superstar Ja Morant's father, Tee Morant, was ejected for making disrespectful comments regarding the officiating. His comments included shouting 'The fix is in!' which led to his removal by game officials. Referee Josh Tiven noted that Tee Morant was known to him, prompting action amidst the Grizzlies' significant advantage in free throws attempted, which seemed to contradict the father's claims against the integrity of the referees.
The fix is in! Tee Morant shouted from his FedExForum courtside seat immediately before he was ejected, a source who attended the game told ESPN.
Tiven, the crew chief, said he was aware that the fan was Morant's father when he requested that security remove him from his courtside.
