Be careful wearing the visiting team’s gear to professional sporting events—it could hinder your chances of interacting with a player. Some Golden State Warriors fans learned that the hard way on Tuesday night. Late in the Memphis Grizzlies’ 116-108 victory over the Warriors, Ja Morant drove through the defense for a layup and was fouled by Golden State’s Andrew Wiggins. Prior to heading to the free throw line, an amped-up Morant exchanged a few words with some young Warrior fans—one of whom was looking for a high five. “He was disrespectful with that jersey on,” Morant said after the game. “W...
