Ja Morant is gearing up for a major comeback after an injury-marred last season and suspension issues during which he played only nine games. Recently, Morant received a positive update on his injury rehab. Morant is emerging from a tough season in which he played only nine games due to injuries and suspensions. His agent, Mike Miller, expressed confidence that Morant, with his remarkable skill and athleticism, is ready to reclaim his position at the top.
Morant’s agent, Mike Miller, a former seven-season player with the Memphis Grizzlies, is confident about his client’s return. On “The OGs Show,” hosted by Udonis Haslem and Miller, he issued a strong message to the rest of the NBA teams.
“Ja Morant is coming for all the work this year. All of it. How soon they forget. That’s all I’ll say: He’s about to come for it,” Miller said.
Morant’s impact on the Grizzlies has been undeniable. The team secured the No. 2 seed in back-to-back seasons with his dominance. His efforts did not go unnoticed, as Morant won the NBA’s Most Improved Player Award in 2022. Additionally, he made the All-Star team in the two seasons before his injury and suspension.

Before re-signing, Kennard had a $14 million team option that the Grizzlies chose to decline, opting to negotiate a new deal instead.
The decision to bring Kennard back was influenced by the successful on-court chemistry between him and Morant, as the Grizzlies have seen firsthand how well the duo works together.
