Ja Morant had been suspended for 25 games after flaunting a gun on an Instagram live video in May. This was the second instance of him getting in trouble for the possession of firearms, the first incident occurring just a few months prior in March. As a result, Morant has not yet made his season debut. Despite this, he was allowed to travel with the team and practice with them.

During his long time out, Ja had to go through counseling and the league had been closely monitoring his progress. Well, it looks like everything is in place and he is ready for a comeback. He will most definitely suit up for the Grizzlies‘ game at New Orleans on the 19th. Interestingly, Morant has some things to get off his chest before his return.

Ja doesn’t regret his actions

Morant takes full responsibility for his actions, but he makes it clear that he does not regret doing what he did. The Daily Memphian‘s Drew Hill took to X to share Ja’s quote during a press conference. The former Rookie of the Year reportedly said, “I definitely see why the things that happened, happened. But I can’t say that I regret it, because it has made me better.”

Ja also touched upon his efforts to become a better role model both on and off the court and that he was grateful for all the love and support he received during his time off. He said that he will prove through actions, and not words, that he has put in the work to become a better version of himself. Naturally, Ja also expressed his excitement about coming back to the court to his teammates and his fans.
