Grizzlies, Ja Morant: “Grateful for the support I have received”
Morant returns to the court after an 8-game suspension: the words of the Grizzlies player and coach Jenkins
The entire FedEx Forum stands up to applaud Ja Morant as he prepares to enter the court for the first time after an 8-game suspension with 3’05” left in the first quarter.
The Grizzlies star plays 24 minutes and finishes with 17 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds in their 130-125 victory over the Houston Rockets.
It really means a lot, of course, I am grateful for all the support I have received during this time. It has helped me feel better and has lightened up a lot of what has happened
Ja Morant
Coach Taylor Jenkins also commented on the return of his star, confirming that Ja Morant‘s journey is not yet over.
I think this was just a part of the journey of the last two weeks for him… it’s a process. I mean, I think every day, every example of something on or off the court, is just another opportunity for him to improve
