The Memphis Grizzlies faced off against the Dallas Mavericks in their most recent matchup in the NBA. 

During the game, fans saw Ja Morant on the sidelines for the first time since getting suspended for the gun incident on his Instagram Live. Morant was obviously joyous in his return, as he was even seen dancing with his teammates. Another great moment from the game was when Ja Morant was captured hugging Kyrie Irving after the game.

Seeing the two players share a heartfelt moment was loved by the NBA community. After all, amidst all the controversy Ja has been a part of over the last few weeks, Kyrie Irving has shown support for him.

“Y’all saw what’s going on. We don’t have to go into 12ski (Ja Morant),” Irving said. “We don’t even have to go into that. We don’t have to go into that because 12ski’s not the only one that’s dealt with real-life circumstances. He’s not the only one. He won’t be the only one. So, guess what I’m going to do. I’m going to stand, and make sure I’m there for my family and my friends. We all make mistakes. We all do things that we’ll regret. But somehow, when you’re a celebrity, and you’re famous, you’re underneath different rules.”

Irving’s support for Morant during such a tough time has certainly bolstered the bond between the two NBA superstars. It’s certainly good to see two of the best point guards in the business becoming close friends as well.


Ja Morant Could Play Against The Houston Rockets

Following the NBA’s investigation regarding Ja Morant’s gun-flashing incident at a Colorado strip club, the league issued an 8-game suspension without pay on Ja.

Now, with the suspension almost over, many are wondering when the Memphis Grizzlies superstar will return to playing basketball.

According to NBA analyst Shams Charania, Morant could return as soon as the Grizzlies’ Wednesday night matchup against the Houston Rockets. 

Fans are certainly waiting for Morant’s return, and it will be a great day for the Grizzlies fanbase to finally see him back in action.
