LeBron James Sends Message to Ja Morant
Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is set to make his season debut on Tuesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Returning from his 25-game suspension, Morant is more than ready to get out there with his teammates and help them turn this season around.
The basketball world is behind Morant as he makes his return, including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, who shared this message for the Grizzlies star on X (formerly known as Twitter):
This was really cool to see from James, who is still the biggest star in basketball. Morant has been patiently waiting his return to the court, and that wait has been made more difficult by the struggles he has seen his team go through in his absence.
Morant opened up recently about some of the guilt he has been feeling watching his team struggle, because while he is of course not out there, he understands his absence has helped put the team in this position.
While the Grizzlies are very far down the Western Conference standings, the return of Morant, along with other reinforcements that should be nearing returns as well, could put them right back in the mix for a play-in spot. This is the hope of Morant and everyone involved with the Grizzlies organization, and that pursuit starts on Tuesday night against the Pelicans.
