Ja Morant Shares Message Before First Game Since Suspension

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is set to play his first game tonight since being suspended for flashing a gun during an Instagram live video. Morant has missed a total of nine games, with eight of those being from the NBA's suspension, and the ninth being due to his conditioning ramp up. Before this game against the Houston Rockets, Morant shared a brief message on Twitter for the fans:

Morant mentioned in his first media availability session since the suspension that he will be using social media a lot less than he was prior to this incident, as he looks to keep the main thing the main thing. While Morant will be limiting his social media usage going forward, he will obviously not be entirely absent from social media platforms, as he has already shared a message of encouragement ahead of his first game back.

The Grizzlies will enter play on Wednesday night as the Western Conference's two-seed, which is a spot they did well to hold down in the absence of their star guard. Morant being reinstated into the starting lineup is something that should give the Grizzlies a real boost as they look to enter the postseason with some positive momentum.

This game against the Rockets should be a good opportunity for Morant to get his legs back under him after an extended absence.
