The wait is over: Ja Morant returns to the NBA with a bang

Memphis Grizzlies fans rejoiced on Wednesday night as their star point guard, Ja Morant, made his long-awaited return to the lineup against the Houston Rockets. After an eight-game suspension for conduct detrimental to the league, Morant was ready to hit the court and show the world what he’s made of.

Despite coming off the bench, Morant wasted no time in making an impact. Early in the second quarter, he posterized Rockets forward Kenyon Martin Jr. with a monstrous dunk that had fans on Twitter buzzing.

While many were thrilled to see Morant back in action, others couldn’t resist making jokes at his expense following his gun-wielding incident at a Colorado nightclub in early March.
