Memphis Grizzlies

After serving a 25 game suspension from the NBA, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is officially back. The star point guard has patiently awaited his return from suspension, and will make his season debut on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. All eyes are on Morant in this one, and that attention started even before the game when the star point guard entered the arena for the first time this season:

This should be a very exciting matchup, and while it is unfortunately not a home game for Memphis, the energy in the building should still be very high. One of the most electric players in the NBA, Morant will look to put on a show in this one for all of the fans in attendance and watching at home.

While so much focus is being put on Morant himself, his return is more about the Grizzlies as a team than anything else. Going in abysmal 6-19 in the 25 games Morant missed, the Grizzlies are hopeful that they can turn things around sooner rather than later. Having lost five straight games, the Grizzlies need to get back in the win column, and Morant is hoping to lead them to victory in his first game back.

The Grizzlies and Pelicans will begin at 4:30 PM PST in New Orleans on Tuesday night.
