Ja Morant was one of the best players in the league last season averaging a very solid 26 Points, 8 Assists, and 6 Rebounds while making almost 50% of his shots.
Unfortunately, after showing a gun multiple times on his social media at the end of last season, he was suspended for the first 25 games of this season.
Lucky for the Grizzlies, it has been 26 games now and Morant is able to start competing for the team again.
In Moran'ts return tonight he recorded a very impressive:
34 Points
8 Assists
6 Rebounds
50% of shots made (12-24)
And made the game-winning shot!!
The Grizzlies lost their last 5 games before tonight, so with the strong performance and win Ja Morant certainly reminded the team of what they had been missing.
Last year the Grizzlies finished with one of the best records in the league, but without Morant this season, they have one of the worst records in the league. Hopefully, with Morant's return, the team can get back to being the great team that they were last season.
