Ja Morant Making Return Against Pelicans

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the long awaited return of rising superstar Ja Morant is happening Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

The 6-19 Memphis Grizzlies have been plagued by sloppy play and the injury bug, but now fans can have some hope with the return of Morant.

It’s safe to say Memphis has struggled heavily without Morant, but this ordinary game on a random Tuesday is anything but that for the Grizzlies and their fans.

Statistics have made it clear the Grizzlies are most likely not making the playoffs, however, it’ll most likely change due to the return of one Ja Morant.

As a side note, Morant was permitted to practice with his team during his 25-game suspension. So it appears he is ready to make an immediate impact and shake off the game-time rust.

Morant was suspended indefinitely by the league after repeating the same mistake of flashing a firearm on an Instagram Live.

In a shocking turn of events, heading into the new season, NBA veteran Derrick Rose has officially announced his retirement.

On Wednesday, Rose posted on Instagram a cryptic video of what many believed to be a hint at him retiring. For those who guessed that, you all are correct.

In the early hours of Thursday, the 35-year-old announced on Instagram that he is retiring after 16 years in the league.

He wrote almost a love letter to the game of basketball, what it meant to him, and what it has done for his life.

While Rose is seen as one of the NBA’s biggest what-ifs due to his ACL injury in his prime years with the Chicago Bulls, he still had an undoubtedly incredible career. He was the youngest MVP winner at 22, a two-time FIBA Gold Medalist, Rookie of the Year, three-time All-Star, and All-NBA First Team.

Memphis has granted Rose’s request to be released from his contract, which officially means he will not play for them in the upcoming season. He has most definitely retired.
