Ja Morant made a stunning comeback from his 25-game suspension. He led the struggling Grizzlies to a thrilling victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. In the process, he scored 34 points and recorded 8 assists. While Ja is on an epic comeback, his father’s statements about the issue seem completely out of line.
Tee Morant made an appearance on SiriusXM NBA Radio and during the conversation, Tee stated that many star players in the past have committed more severe offenses without facing suspension.

The Grizzlies have one of the best defenses in the league. However, it’s their offense that’s the root cause of their poor form. They have recorded an offensive rating of 106.5, which is the worst in the NBA. The Grizzlies are also shooting at a clip of 33.2% from beyond the arc, which is the second worst in the league. Morant’s return might address their offense, but the Grizzlies really need to improve their 3-point shooting. Otherwise, securing a playoff spot could become tricky. However, stranger things have happened in the NBA. So, don’t rule out the Grizzlies.
