Ja Morant’s suspension is over

Ja Morant’s eight-game NBA suspension is over, and he has rejoined the Memphis Grizzlies.

The dynamic guard was on the bench for Monday night’s game against Dallas, though it’s unclear exactly when he’ll play, with the earliest being Wednesday.

The Grizzlies host Houston on Wednesday in the first of two consecutive games against the Rockets in Memphis.

The Grizzlies know Morant has been working out, trying to be ready for this moment. Memphis was off Sunday after back-to-back wins, and Jenkins said he would like Morant to practice or at least participate in a shootaround before seeing his game action.

Morant has been out since March 4, hours after he livestreamed himself on Instagram displaying a gun at strip club in Colorado following a game against the Denver Nuggets.
