With his 25-game suspension about to expire, Ja Morant‘s much-awaited return to the NBA court is swiftly nearing. As the excitement reaches new heights, the point guard could play in the Memphis Grizzlies’ upcoming away game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The game is unique for Memphis. The Grizzlies hope this game catalyzes a concerted playoff push, with star player Ja Morant expected to make his awaited season debut.

Before making his season debut, Ja’s physical preparation had been “unbelievable,” according to Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins last week. Regarding his absence, Morant said last week that he had a conversation with Silver before his anticipated return. In addition, Ja disclosed on Friday that he had only spoken to his teammates during his preseason absence from the NBA and that he had discovered things about himself while in therapy.

During his suspension, Ja was able to practice with the Grizzlies and seems prepared to contribute right away. Without Ja, Memphis has had tremendous difficulty. The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 116-97 on the road on Monday, their fifth straight loss, dropping them to 6-19.

In 2022–2023 Grizzlies went 51–31, with Ja Morant leading Memphis in points (26.2) and assists (8.2 assists) per game. Due to significant injuries, roster changes, and the absence of star player Ja, Memphis finished second in the West during the previous regular season.
