The Memphis Grizzlies’ star player, Ja Morant, has had some extremely difficult days lately. He was quite depressed about the whole thing after having to miss 25 games. But now, he’s all set to bounce back, feeling stronger and wiser.
Following a recent Grizzlies workout, Morant talked about the difficult period he had to go through while serving a ban. After some of his gun-wielding videos appeared on social media, he was slapped with a ban. While describing how difficult those times were, Morant also emphasised the tremendous support he got during that trying time.
The 24-year-old, who got named the NBA’s Most Improved Player in 2022, is finally eligible to play again. He’s looking forward to hitting the court on Tuesday when the Grizzlies take on New Orleans. Morant is not aiming for a record-breaking comeback game; he just wants to support his team and enjoy being back in action.
With the Grizzlies struggling in the league, Morant feels a bit guilty for not being there to help his team on the court. He takes full responsibility for the situation, acknowledging that his choices led to this ban, keeping him away from doing what he loves—playing basketball.
During the ban, Morant could practice with his teammates but couldn’t be there in person during the games. He reflected on the mistakes he made, both in public and private, and admitted to undergoing therapy sessions to improve himself.
Despite the challenging times, Morant feels he’s emerged stronger and wiser. He’s learned a lot about himself and how to approach life. Morant stressed that this period has changed his perspective, making him more mindful about his decisions as an NBA player, a father, and a role model.
He’s grateful for the unwavering support from his friends, family, and teammates throughout this challenging phase. Morant credits this support for helping him learn and grow, even though not being on the court was tough.
As Morant gears up for his return, he’s determined to be the best version of himself, learning from the past and focusing on being the finest Ja he can be—on and off the court.
