After a 6-19 run filled with bad luck and worse basketball, the Memphis Grizzlies can finally call 12. Ja Morant is back on the active roster and is expected to make his return to NBA play on national television tonight in New Orleans against the Pelicans. What does Ja’s return mean to a team that has struggled mightily without him, and who should be most excited that Morant is no longer suspended? Host Joe Mullinax breaks that down and more on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

Man, Im nervous for him. Can't wait to watch Ja play tonight. Doesn't matter what happens regardless the result, I just hope he gets through the game healthy. Aint gonna lie 19/25 of those games were hard to watch. So let's go 12!! If Ja can help turn this teams season around, imagine the storylines then. Can't wait! Shut those haters up!
Gg jackson cant be worse then Ziaire. GG should get a real opportunity
I think we bout to see the NBA story arc. Let’s gooooooooooooo!
This is the first year since Ja was a rookie I’m not taking my son to the MLK game
I would not blame Rose.
He is what you should have expected. This is why he was buried on the Knicks bench
Super agree – if the ja/Jaren thing clicks…OMG. And I am hoping some folks that are still on roster is bc TJ sees something with ja in practice that we haven’t – sadly I’ve always been rooting for Z. Maybe he’s doin those ja finishes. Thanks for the hope again! I woke up sick still but feels like CHRISTMAS
I hope it goes good but it may take a few games to get rolling.
I’m a Pelicans fan. I’m happy for Ja. I have always liked him. It should be a good game with Ja returning and trying to make a statement and Zion also still on his redemption tour. Should be a good game! Let’s Go!!!
I know it’s the cold medicine bro you are locked in today I can’t ever debate much at all
For the Grizzlies to win championships for the next 10 years as a young growing team, they will have to get a big guy, that is Wemby, and a real coach like Doc Rivers. Then the wildest runs become possible. But they need a young great big guy and a real coach
Just pray for Jas health and peace
Let’s hope this is actually his last chance, and he didn’t already use it up and they’re going to blackball him no matter what.
Like I understand ja being out we was gone lose some games but 6-19 shows that bane and JJJ don’t know how to win without ja when we won those games without ja when he was hurt last year was hurt was a fluke
Does anyone know if there’s a name of the move that I’ve only seen Ja do where your back is facing the basket and then you put backspin on the ball from the from the baseline corner to the basket as you do that you fake like you’re pivoting around to go inside to the lane but really it’s just a body fake and then you follow the ball along the baseline doing another 180 and just lay it in.
