New for @YahooSports: The game missed Ja Morant and the feeling seemed mutual — but the game doesn’t need him. The game would just be better off with him in it, being the colorful character he is. sports.yahoo.com/ja-morants-ret… – 1:38 AM
Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
Two things that will happen:
1. The Grizzlies will make the playoffs.
2. Ja Morant will make the All-Star Game. – 1:00 AM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
Guess it didn’t take long for Ja Morant to shake off the dust… Daaaamn! Lol – 11:35 PM
Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
So good to see Ja Morant back. Never should have been gone that long in the first place. The league is better with him on the floor. This kid is 1 of 1. – 11:33 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant came up to Desmond Bane in the huddle and asked if he wanted to run a post play for Jaren.
Bane: “I was like no.”
Bane said he wanted the ball in Ja’s hands. – 10:51 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Willie Green on defending Ja Morant 1-on-1 on the last possession:
“We trust (Herb) for sure … We threw some different looks at him. But (Morant) was fantastic tonight. Give him credit. We blitzed him. We threw multiple guys at him. He still got to where he needed to.” – 10:26 PM
Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
What a freaking show by Ja Morant.
Nothing but respect for the way he finished that game. Just a superstar doing work.
A lot of Pelicans issues to discuss, but that was incredible. – 10:04 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
That’s one hell of a way for Ja Morant to announce his return.
He scored 34 points and hit the final 3 buckets of the night for Memphis, including the game-winner at the buzzer. – 10:03 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Final: Grizzlies 115, Pelicans 113
New Orleans led by as many as 24.
Ja Morant scores 34 in his return.
Pels fall to 16-12. Winning streak snapped at four. – 10:02 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
This building is shocked. Welcome back, Ja Morant. Don’t close the book on the Grizzlies just yet. – 10:01 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Ja Morant spins into a floater and drains it at the buzzer to give the Grizzlies the win.
He finishes with 34 points and 8 assists in his return from a 25-game suspension. – 10:01 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant for the win. Unbelievable. No words.
This guy is incredible. I can’t wait for Thursday night. – 10:01 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
CJ McCollum is 6-9 from the 3-point line, but his 3 misses might be the ugliest 3 misses of his career, including that last one w/ 13 seconds left.
The Pelicans have to get a stop. And I mean stop Ja Morant from getting into the lane. All tied up at 113 with 9.6 seconds left. – 10:00 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Wow. Memphis has taken the lead after a Ja Morant floater. The Grizzlies were down as many as 24 points. 111-109 with 1:20 left – 9:57 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Herb Jones unnecessarily flies out at Ja Morant — make him shoot — and then Brandon Ingram turns it over.
Grizzlies within 2, at 102-100 with 5:06 remaining. – 9:45 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Timeout New Orleans. Pelicans lead has been trimmed to seven. Memphis lurking around with Ja Morant on the bench. Jaren Jackson Jr. has been dominant to start the fourth – 9:35 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Ja Morant has 20 points, seven assists and four rebounds going into the fourth quarter, but the Grizzlies are down 87-77 at Pelicans. – 9:28 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant is rolling. Just went coast to coast against Alvarado and pulled out the too little pose. Morant has 13 points in the third quarter. – 9:24 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Four fouls on Jaren. Ja Morant to the bench. Desmond Bane will need to have his best stretch yet today to keep Memphis in this one – 9:13 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant is doing Ja Morant things. Just converted an and-one from an improbable angle. 13-4 Grizzlies run. Memphis down eight. – 9:07 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Brian Anderson** : “I know Grizzlies fans and Ja Morant fans are excited that he’s back. But they’ve got personnel issues.” – 8:44 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Vince Williams Jr. with a first-half buzzer-beater from the corner to bring the deficit under 20 for Grizzlies, 60-41. Does that count as keeping in touch? 7 points and 3 assists in 16 minutes in Ja Morant’s first half of hoops this season. – 8:42 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of 1st half: Pelicans 60, Grizzlies 41
McCollum 15 pts (5-6 3PT)
Valanciunas 12 pts, 8 rebs
Ingram 12 pts
Pels outscored the Grizz 39-16 in the 2nd Q, including a massive 28-2 run. Ja Morant had 7 pts in his 1st action of the season, but Pels are rolling on both ends. – 8:41 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ian Eagle: “I know Grizzlies fans and Ja Morant fans are excited that he’s back. But they’ve got personnel issues.” – 8:41 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Ja Morant scorers to end a 28-2 Pelicans run. Memphis went from leading 29-25 to trailing 53-31 during that stretch – 8:33 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
CJ McCollum buries a step-back in Ja Morant’s face and then the Pelicans force another turnover, with Brandon Ingram going to the free throw line.
After 2 makes, the Pelicans have seized a 53-31 lead and it feels like eons ago that the Grizzlies put points on the board. – 8:32 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
CJ McCollum hits another 3-pointer and the Pelicans are on a 15-2 run, seizing a 40-31 lead over the Grizzlies.
Dyson Daniels deserves his flowers. He completely shut down Ja Morant for a few minutes, forcing a tough miss and two turnovers. – 8:23 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant has been really close on some of these highlight layups. Still knocking the rust off a little bit. – 8:14 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Love the Dyson Daniels substitution. No one has been able to stay in front of Ja Morant. – 8:12 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant back on the table, waiting to check in at the next workout. Bane will probably get a break. Taylor Jenkins staggering his star players so far. – 7:59 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
I know people felt some way about it, but the road return kind of fits the mold. Everything Ja Morant has shown has been all business up to this point. Not much flash. There are Grizz fans here, but obviously less outside noise on the road. Fitting for the debut – 7:34 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Grizzlies starters:
PG – Ja Morant
SG – Desmond Bane
SF – Vince Williams Jr.
PF – Jaren Jackson Jr.
C – Bismack Biyombo – 7:09 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Unlike when he came back from suspension last time, Ja Morant will go right back into the starting lineup tonight, but Taylor Jenkins suggested the length of his stints could be limited in his first game back. – 6:11 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Taylor Jenkins said Ja Morant “is not going to play crazy minutes” tonight vs. #Pelicans and the coach will be mindful of how he’s used. Morant hasn’t played in a game since April – 6:03 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Ja Morant will start tonight for Memphis against New Orleans. Zion Williamson’s status (illness) is still up in the air – 6:02 PM
Michael C. Wright @mikecwright
Ja Morant is starting but Taylor Jenkins said he won’t be playing “crazy minutes.” Smartly, they’ll ramp him up it seems. – 6:02 PM
Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon
Ja Morant will be in Grizzlies’ starting lineup tonight. Coach Taylor Jenkins’ message to him: “Go out there and have fun.” – 6:02 PM
Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Zion Williamson (non-COVID illness) is QUESTIONABLE for tonight’s game vs. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies, per team. – 12:07 PM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant is back today. Big game on TNT.
Unfortunately, I got sick over the weekend and this thing has really kicked my ass.
To say I’m bummed I can’t be there tonight is an understatement. 😓 – 8:28 AM

COLUMN: Ja Morant is back. Memphis basketball hosts UVA (and might be as good as it has been since Calipari left). Liberty Stadium deal should be approved. Savor this day, Memphis sports fans. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c… via @memphisnews – 8:08 AM
