It’s not often that an NBA debut of this magnitude comes 25 games into a season. But that’s the case for Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, following a suspension handed down by the league after he was seen displaying a firearm during an Instagram Live video posted back in May. It was the second such suspension for Morant.
Morant is poised to make his season debut Tuesday night, and the comments about his return to the court from peers and coaches, including LeBron James, have been noteworthy.
One message stood out among the rest, though, as veteran Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose praised Morant for the work he’s put in behind the scenes and the fact that he’s remained in the background.
