Ja Morant playing solid basketball after shortened season last time around

Limited to just nine games last season, Ja Morant is playing solid basketball in the ongoing campaign, leading his team to renewed competitiveness.

The former second overall pick (2019) from Murray State sat out the early part of the 2023-24 NBA season as he served a league-imposed suspension over off-court issues. Nine games into his return to action, he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during team practice.

Now healthy and armed with the lessons of a tough season, Ja Morant is playing with added bounce in the ongoing campaign. He spoke about his frame of mind for the season:

"Right now, I'm happy, and that's my main focus. I feel like a happy Ja is a scary Ja for a lot of people. So long as I stay happy and healthy, it'll be a great season."

Ja Morant has been producing all-around numbers for the Grizzlies this season, with 21.7 points, 8.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds and a steal in 28 minutes. More importantly, under his lead, Memphis has been battling it out with the rest of the field, holding a 17-8 record, third in the Western Conference.

It has been a turnaround from their showing last season, where they compiled an overall record of 27-55. Memphis has won three straight and will hope to sustain the winning run when it plays the Brooklyn Nets at home on Friday.
