Ja Morant Returns With 16 Points, Eight Assists
3 years agoMemphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant ended a 12-game absence on Monday against OKC and produced 16 points with six rebounds and eight assists across 28 minutes of action. He also had two steals and one block with four turnovers in a 102-99 loss. Morant finished with 6-for-12 shooting from the field and nailed three of his five shots at the charity stripe. The Grizzlies eased their star back into action here, but it shouldn't take long before Morant starts logging his normal minutes. He might be fully up to speed already by the time Sunday's juicy matchup against Sacramento comes around. Memphis' schedule this week also includes a matchup against Golden State.
