Ja Morant has produced a spectacular second half in his highly anticipated NBA season debut, sinking a buzzer-beater to steer Memphis to a much-needed road win over New Orleans.
Morant returned on Wednesday (AEDT), having served a 25-game ban for holding a gun during a livestream video last year after the NBA ruled that his actions were detrimental to the league.
It looked like there would be no fairytale comeback as the Pelicans blew out to a 24-point lead late in the second quarter and held a 19-point advantage at halftime.
