Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Scores 21 points in return
Ja Morant (calf) had 21 points (7-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and a block across 25 minutes in Friday's 130-126 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.Morant was limited to 25 minutes in his return from a 10-game absence due to a calf injury, but that was more than enough to show he's fully recovered. He posted a double-double, and while there was some rust in his shooting, he showed glimpses of his talent and elite ability to run the offense. Morant should remain the Grizzlies' go-to option on offense as long as he finds a way to stay healthy.

Grizzlies' Ja Morant: No limitations in practice
Ja Morant (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Michael Wallace of the Memphis Grizzlies' official site reports.The Grizzlies still have to release an official injury report ahead of Friday's tilt against the Jazz, and it sounds like Morant is trending in the right direction. A strained calf has kept the star guard out of action since the middle of November, but once Morant is cleared to retake the floor, Cam Spencer and Vince Williams are likely to have the most to lose from a fantasy perspective.
