Things are looking brighter at the FedEx Forum as the Grizzlies are on a winning streak and expecting the return of their superstar point guard Ja Morant this week.
The NBA came to a decision last week to suspend Morant for 8 games, including the ones he had already missed. This came after Morant posted an Instagram Live of himself brandishing a gun at a Denver club on March 4.
