The Memphis Grizzlies received a big shot in the arm on Tuesday night with the return of superstar Ja Morant from his 25-game suspension. The Grizzlies entered the night 6-19 and are in need of a turnaround.
Morant put on a helluva performance. The All-Star had 34 points, eight assists and six rebounds. He also laid in the game-winner to lift the Grizzlies to a 115-113 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on the road.
Morant was sensational for Memphis, and Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey reacted on X (formerly Twitter).
Ja being back is good for hoops!

Morant and the Grizzlies will travel to the Wells Fargo Center to face Maxey and the Sixers on March 6. That will be a terrific matchup between two of the top point guards in the league.
