It looks like Ja Morant is fully health and ready to play for the Memphis Grizzlies once again.
On Twitter, before the Grizzlies announced he is questionable in their game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Morant appeared to hint his potential return. First off, he tweeted a full-charged battery–suggesting that he has recharged after more than three weeks on the sidelines.

Hours later, he shared three smiling face with smiling eyes emojis, hinting some good news on his recovery from his knee injury and and stint in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

It remains to be seen if Ja Morant will be able to suit up for the Grizzlies when they play the Thunder, but it is undoubtedly encouraging to see the rising star make significant progress in his return bid.
To recall, Morant suffered a knee sprain during Thanksgiving week and has been sidelined ever since. It didn't help that he was forced to enter the COVID-19 health and safety protocols, further delaying his return.
Should Morant play against OKC, though, Grizzlies fans shouldn't expect him to make a huge impact right away. After all, he was unable to practice at all during his absence. With that said, he is expected to have some sort of minutes restriction when he returns.
After the game with the Thunder, the Grizzlies visit the Golden State Warriors next at Chase Center.
