Suspended Grizzlies Star Ja Morant to Return in Mid-December

NBA Requires Morant to Address Destructive Behavior Before Return Amid Team's Struggles

Ja Morant, the two-time All-Star guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, is serving a 25-game suspension and is set to return in mid-December.
Morant was suspended by the NBA for twice being filmed on social media displaying a gun, once at a strip club in Denver and another time inside a car.
Despite not being allowed in the arena during games, Morant remains involved with the team through practices, film sessions, workouts, team dinners, and other social activities.
Before his return, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has stated that Morant will need to formulate and fulfill a program that addresses his destructive behavior.
The Grizzlies, who have had back-to-back seasons of over 50 wins, are currently struggling with an NBA-worst 1-8 start due to Morant's absence and injuries to other key players.
