Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant returned from the suspension that cost him the first 25 games of the season last week, and he wasted no time getting back to his usual dominant self in his first few games.
Morant’s been back on the court for the Grizzlies for just three games and the league has already awarded his excellent play, naming him the Western Conference Player of the Week.
In the three games since his return, Morant is averaging 28.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 9.0 assists per game, while shooting at a 50.8% clip from the field. He also hit a buzzer beater in his first game of the season to lift Memphis to a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
