During the 2022-2023 season, Ja Morant became one of the NBA’s biggest stars, leading the Memphis Grizzlies to the No.2 seed in the Western Conference. However, their hopes of winning a championship were unexpectedly halted by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Off the court, problems for Morant began that same season when he displayed a weapon after a game against the Denver Nuggets. He received an initial suspension of eight games.

Two months later, a very similar incident on Instagram led to an indefinite suspension by the team. Subsequently, the Commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver decreed a 25-game suspension for the 2023-2024 season.

Will Ja Morant play with the Memphis Grizzlies?

After serving his suspension, Ja Morant made a spectacular comeback last December when the Grizzlies were going through a terrible stretch. Two weeks later, a serious right shoulder injury left him unable to continue.

Now, the big question is whether Morant will be recovered in time for the start of a new season in which Memphis seem to be lagging behind other teams. Head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed the good news.
