Lakers News: Ja Morant Responds To Support From LeBron James

LeBron James threw out support for Ja Morant's return to action.

The collective NBA world threw out support for Ja Morant, who returned to the Memphis Grizzlies after a historic 25-game suspension. Morant was suspended after flashing a gun on socials, resulting in the league having to take action. 

Despite being suspended for a record 25 games, Morant came back out in style. He recorded 34 points and a game-winning shot. Naturally, many of the stars from the NBA voiced their opinions on Morant's return.

A collection of tweets was pulled together and placed on Morant's page, where he simply stated, "Love is love." 

That is certainly the right type of message to go with after being suspended for character issues. Morant showcased his elite skills as a playmaker, putting LeBron James and the rest of the league on notice. 

James simply tweeted out, "12!!!! That's all." 

Morant could be one of the bigger success stories in the league if he continues to dominate while staying out of trouble. He was one of the most exciting young players before the social media stuff caused his career to take a dramatic left turn. 

If there was anyone who could give him advice on longevity within the NBA, that would be LeBron James.
