Draymond Green Reacts to Controversial Ja Morant Report

In this story:
A recent article from ESPN included a controversial report about how some within the Memphis Grizzlies organization feel about Tee Morant, the father of Ja Morant.
"Tee moved to Memphis a week after his son was drafted and enjoyed the spoils of his son's rise to superstardom, hosting VIP events and parties at nightclubs, with television cameras often panning toward him," Tim MacMahon and Baxtor Holmes wrote. "Tee also confronted former NFL player Shannon Sharpe at a Jan. 20, 2023, game in Los Angeles, and he argued with Pacers players during a Grizzlies' Jan. 29 home game. Tee's presence, and the spate of incidents, dismayed some in the Grizzlies organization, team sources said... 'Tee has been a major driving force in all of this,' one team source said. 'He never made the NBA, but this was his chance to live like he's an NBA superstar. That's been a problem from the beginning.'"
The inclusion of this report has been very controversial, as many feel it was out of line to bring Morant's father into the situation like this. One of the people who felt this way was Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who said on his Instagram story, "Oh no... let's not remove another black father from their child life."
The screenshot of Green's story was captured and shared by Sportskeeda in a recent article.
