Grizzlies star Ja Morant went back and forth with LeBron James and had a clear message for the Lakers after Wednesday night's 131-114 win: "I don't like them."

Morant left the game with around three minutes remaining in the third quarter and did not return. The Grizzlies star took a hard fall on an alley-oop attempt from Jake LaRavia, granting a "doubtful" status but ultimately did not check back in.
