Ja Morant Named in Ex-Knicks Coach Fizdale's Tanking Claims

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was mentioned by former Knicks coach David Fizdale, who claimed his failed tenure was due to a front office directive to tank games. Fizdale stated the goal was to draft either Morant or Zion Williamson, but the Knicks ultimately selected RJ Barrett at No. 3. Fizdale's final record with the Knicks was 21-83.
