After his noted feud with Markieff Morris in 2017, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jae Crowder is beefing with the other Morris brother, New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris.
After a hard foul against Crowder late in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game between the Grizzlies and Knicks, a fight broke out. Although it was Elfrid Payton who fouled Crowder, it was Morris who had something to say about the seventh-year pro.
"He's got a lot of female tendencies on the court, flopping and throwing his head back…he's soft, very woman-like"

Calling out Crowder and his “female tendencies,”,Morris wasn't happy with the way Crowder played on Wednesday.
To be fair, the Knicks suffered a 21-point beatdown led by 27 points from Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks. The loss marked New York's fourth loss in the last five games as they slip to 13-35 on the season.
The blowout got so bad that the crowd at Madison Square Garden started a “Sell the team” chant.
As far as Crowder and the Grizzlies go, the 6-foot-6 small forward put up 18 points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes. Additionally, Memphis are now 24-24 and are possibly the biggest surprise playoff teams so far this 2019-20 campaign.
On the other hand, despite his team's lack of success, Morris has been arguably the best player for the Knicks. His 19.3 points per game mark both a career-high and a team-high for the 30-year-old. Additionally, his 5.5 rebounds per contest are the third-best mark on the Knickerbockers' roster.
Marcus Morris and Jae Crowder will meet again on April 1, when the two teams face off in Memphis.
