Buoyed by Ja Morant's Return, Grizzlies Glide by Bucks

On Dec. 26, 2025, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 125-104 in Memphis, led by Jaren Jackson Jr.'s 24 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks.
Having missed four games with a left ankle sprain, Ja Morant returned Friday and made an immediate impact in the second quarter.
Outscoring Milwaukee 35-15 in the second quarter shifted momentum to Memphis, with Jaren Jackson Jr.'s 17 first-half points helping build a 60-50 halftime lead.
Memphis extended its double-digit win streak against Milwaukee to eight games, all by double digits, while Milwaukee continues without Giannis Antetokounmpo, losing four of five.
On Sunday Memphis heads to Washington after a high-efficiency win, shooting above 50% at times, and will face the Washington Wizards on Dec. 28.
