Internet reacts to Jordan Clarkson’s new suspension
It happened again. Last night, Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson squared up for a fist fight when Utah faced Memphis at the FedEx Forum and once again, he was ejected off the court.
Let’s recap: As the third quarter was at an end, Grizzlies’ Desmond Bane was quick on his feet to beat Clarkson on the move. Clarkson smacked Bane’s head from behind, as he was unable to face his adversary, which caused a stir between the teams. As the Memphis’ players ran up to confront him in anger, Jordan opted to lift his fists up for a fight. Referee saw no other option but to suspend him immediately.

First time it occurred, Jordan was still a Lakers player back in 2017 and pushed Heat’s Goran Dragic to the floor, only to ensue mayhem at the arena in Los Angeles. He then went on to say: ”We are not going to back down from this guys, we are here playing hard and stuff happens.”
