With NBA announcement that Grizzlies star Ja Morant is suspended through Monday when he can start working out with the team, Rockets are in Memphis to play next Wednesday and Friday. Would he play that quickly? FWIW, they are the final games of the Grizzlies’ four-game homestand. – 3:27 PM

Ja Morant is eligible to return to the Memphis Grizzlies on a March 20 after serving an eight-game suspension. He’ll have to go through a ramp-up period before playing, but the clock is officially ticking on 12’s return.

NBA makes Ja Morant eligible to return for Monday’s game in MEM w/Mavs. Rooting for his recovery. @NBA is a much more exciting place when he plays, so not trying to be flip here. He entered a program in Florida on Monday. Does a few days in said program solve his issues? – 3:11 PM

The NBA did not conclude that the gun at issue belonged to Ja Morant, was brought by him into the nightclub or was displayed by him beyond a brief period. The investigation also did not find that Morant possessed the gun while traveling with the team or in any NBA facility. – 3:09 PM

Not gonna pretend like I know Ja Morant or what he’s been dealing with, but I hope he’s all right. What amounts to a couple games suspension – including time already missed where he only spent a few days in counseling –
doesn’t feel like much. – 3:04 PM

Calling his broadcast on social media of him holding a gun in a club “irresponsible” and “reckless,” the NBA has suspended Ja Morant for eight games. That includes the games he has already missed, meaning he could return on Monday vs. Dallas. – 3:03 PM

Here’s the basketball bottom line of the NBA’s Ja Morant announcement: He’s eligible to be on the court in five days (home against Dallas).
It’s a massive factor that the league did not conclude that the gun belonged to Morant or was brought to NBA facilities (plane included). – 3:02 PM

Jaren Jackson Jr. is having a good fifth season, but that’s not enough right now with Ja Morant away.
The Grizzlies need Jackson to be great. Now Memphis teammates are challenging him because they believe he can be one of the NBA’s best players.
