DALLAS -- Klay Thompson is tired of hearing Ja Morant talk so much.

Morant, who missed his third straight game due to a calf strain, verbally confronted Thompson after the final buzzer of the Memphis Grizzlies' 102-96 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night.

Security staffers and coaches from both teams separated the players to prevent the situation from escalating, but the tension between them has been simmering since at least the 2022 playoffs, when Thompson helped the Golden State Warriors eliminate the Grizzlies en route to earning his fourth NBA championship ring.

"He's a funny guy," Thompson said. "He has a lot to say all the time, especially for a guy who rarely takes accountability."
