Ja Morant Set To Come Off The Bench

Ja Morant Set To Come Off The Bench

It has been confirmed by Taylor Jenkins that Ja Morant will be playing tonight from the bench against the Houston Rockets. Memphis will allow Morant more minutes after a couple of games; it’ll gradually go up as time goes on.

Morant’s minute restrictions are to be in the low 20s, why? Well, it is due to conditioning concerns from being away from the team for two weeks. He missed eight games due to his gun incident.

“This was something he brought to the table as well as had been on my mind,” Jenkins said. “So we collectively thought this was the best strategy, at least for the first one or two games. And then we’ll kind of reevaluate after that.”(ESPN)
