Morant (hip/pelvis) logged 22 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 11 assists, two rebounds and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 123-98 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Morant dominated during his return to game action, after he had missed the Grizzlies' last eight games due to a right hip subluxation and pelvic muscle strains. Despite having his playing time monitored carefully, Morant reached double figures in the assist column and reached the 20-point mark for the sixth time in nine appearances on the season. Morant's playing time will likely remain somewhat suppressed over the next few games while he gets eased back in from the injury, but he proved Monday that he doesn't need 30-plus minutes to make a big impact.
