Morant Set to Return After Suspension
Ja Morant averages 20.8 points and 6.7 assists and returned to start after a suspension for conduct during a loss to the Lakers, Memphis coach said.
- Monday night, Ja Morant returned to start for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Detroit Pistons after serving a one-game suspension the team said was for conduct detrimental to the team.
- Following Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis suspended Ja Morant for one game due to his actions and postgame comments about playing time.
- Statistically, Morant averages 20.8 points and 6.7 assists, but scored only eight points in the Friday game, appearing disengaged and settling for jumpers with nearly as many 3-pointers as paint attempts.
- Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo said the club discussed the issue and aims to move forward and beat the Pistons, while Morant ignored reporters and teammates said they expect him to rejoin and move on.
- Amid limited public detail, Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo called it an internal matter, while fans showed mixed responses—one flew from Connecticut to watch and others hope Ja Morant has matured and will stay.
