Ja Morant is unstoppable: The Grizzlies star shines in his return, setting his sights on a significant 2024-25 NBA season

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has returned and is looking better than ever. Just a month after receiving medical clearance to engage in basketball activities, Morant is already impressing everyone with his explosive performances in recent five-on-five sessions.

The two-time All-Star demonstrated the speed, agility, and dynamic style that have established him as one of the NBA’s most exciting young talents. He smoothly navigated through double teams with behind-the-back dribbles, spun past defenders, and finished at the rim effortlessly.

His jump shot looks sharper than ever, with consistent mid-range pull-ups and floaters adding a new dimension to his game.

Morant’s return to form is great news for Grizzlies fans, especially after he missed most of last season due to a shoulder injury. Now, Ja is looking to have fun and showcase his skills on the court, aiming to lead Memphis to new heights alongside Zach Edey in the upcoming NBA season.

Cleared for all basketball activities in July, Morant hasn’t wasted any time preparing for an exceptional season. The 2024-2025 NBA season kicks off on Tuesday, October 22, when the Boston Celtics face off against the New York Knicks.

A few months ago, the Grizzlies star secured a legal victory when a Tennessee judge ruled in his favor, recognizing his self-defense claim in a lawsuit filed against him by a teenager he punched in July 2022.

 

His agent, former Grizzlies forward Mike Miller, recently stated that Morant is “going all out this year,” highlighting the 24-year-old’s determination to lead Memphis deep into the playoffs.
