3 years agoMemphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's contest vs. the Pelicans after a nine-game absence due to right knee soreness. Morant has emerged as an elite fantasy asset in his third professional campaign, having averaged 27.6 points (sixth in the league) on 49.3% shooting. His return knocks much of the fantasy shine off Tyus Jones, who enjoyed increased usage in Morant's absence. The 22-year-old will start and will likely have his minutes monitored in some capacity with the postseason set to begin next week and Memphis on its first leg of a back-to-back.--Jesse Borek
