The NBA 2023/24 regular season begins on Tuesday, 24 Oct 2023. Ja Morant, a point guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, with an average of 26.2 points in 61 games 5.9 rebounds, and 8.1 assists in the 2022/23 NBA regular season, has been missing from the court for a while.
Earlier, Morant was suspended for the first 25 matches in the 2023/2024 season by the NBA. He was guilty of a repeated offense that got him 8 matches suspension in March by the NBA. According to some recent news, we may finally see the youngster return after the prolonged absence.
Grizzlies’ Ja Morant likely to return from suspension on Dec 19 vs Pelicans
On May 14, the Grizzlies sanctioned a ban on Ja Morant after a video circulated on social media platforms showed the NBA Superstar flaunting a firearm. This is not the first time the 24-year-old star has gotten into such issues which is why he received a lengthy ban from the NBA.
As the preparation for the New NBA begins, many Grizzlies fans are curious to see him play again. Regarding this matter, important news was released by Grizzlies news reporter Damichael Cole‘s Twitter handle,
“Ja Morant’s first game he’s eligible to return will be Dec. 19 against the New Orleans Pelicans. The game will be in NOLA and nationally televised on TNT.” And to confirm this, there came another Twitter post-@Grizz_Lead “ BREAKING: The first game that Ja Morant will be available to play in is December 19th at the New Orleans Pelicans”
