Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant scripted a fairytale comeback after his 25-game suspension. The 23-year-old went through his suspension period in silence without giving anything to the NBA world. Everything that the fans knew was from his cryptic social media posts and rare appearances at the courtside. However, following the comeback game, LSU’s quarterback Jayden Daniels, who won the Heisman Trophy, revealed a glimpse of Ja’s ‘dark times’.

Following the league’s call to suspend the star for 25 games, the youngster completely went off-radar on social media. For someone who shares posts regularly on social media, he remained in active throughout the postseason, except for reacting to the Grizzlies trades. Following that, he shared a countdown for the number of games left for his return. Other than that, the NBA world has no clue about Morant’s 8-month-long hiatus. Let’s see what Daniels has to offer us.

LSU’s QB reveals Ja Morant’s ‘dark times’

The LSU star quarter-back Jayden Daniels turned the US sports world’s attention to his side after winning the Heisman Trophy. He completed his 5-year-long college stint and has turned into a hot prospect for the 2023 NFL draft. Amid this career-high moment, Daniels revealed about Ja Morant‘s tough period.

Daniels sat on the courtside seats for the much-awaited game and witnessed Morant’s clutch magic from close quarters. Following the game, when the All-Star rushed towards the locker room, he stopped in front of Daniels for a moment, and gave him the game jersey with his signature on, reported Andscape.

Morant brought back his team from a 24-point deficit and clinched the game with the possession of the ball in the final few seconds of the game. The comeback became more special when the superstar of the game appreciated him.

The comeback game

Morant took on the New Orleans Pelicans on his return in an away game. He walked into the arena with a booing crowd and ended up winning their hearts at the end of the game buzzer.

Speaking of the New Orleans crowd, he said, “I don’t know what I did to the Pelicans or their fans, but hey, they got to root for their team. So, it’s all good,” reported AP News. However, the wishes of the superstar took over everything else.

LeBron James took to his X handle and dropped a 6-word message to Morant. He wrote, “12 welcome back!! Go be GREAT again!!,” before the game and wrote, “12 !!!! That’s All,” after the game.
