After having to sit out almost the entire season last year, Ja Morant is making an extremely strong comeback for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2024-25 NBA season.

In a day when everything went smoothly, Memphis Grizzlies fans got to see just about everything they wanted to see.

A well-balanced team, coming together and finishing well. A strong Ja Morant, playing aggressively but still smart and making good decisions.

In the end, Morant had his first triple-double after a long five-month absence due to suspension and injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies added to the pain for the Milwaukee Bucks with a 122-99 victory.

Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 37 points and had 11 rebounds, he still couldn’t help the Milwaukee Bucks escape the early season crisis.

The most blameworthy is probably superstar guard Damian Lillard, who only had 1-12 FGs all game with exactly 4 points. Brook Lopez was the name with the most points after Giannis and only had 12 points.

In contrast to the dark image after 4 consecutive losses of the Bucks is the positivity and joy of Memphis Grizzlies fans.

They witnessed Ja Morant have his best game of the season with 26 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds, achieving his 12th triple-double of his career.

Right from the first half, Morant played fiercely with 21 points, helping the Grizzlies lead 70-48. And besides scoring, Ja also had a beautiful assist.
