The Memphis Grizzlies’ 2023–24 season begins on a challenging note, with only three wins in their first 14 games. The absence of Ja Morant has played a significant role in the team’s struggles.

Last season, the Grizzlies achieved 51 victories and secured the second position in the Western Conference. However, Morant’s return, after 11 more games, holds the promise of a turnaround.

Despite the team’s current difficulties, the 24-year-old standout is showing a renewed commitment to the court. As the Thanksgiving season unfolds, Morant recently expressed gratitude for three things in his life.

Throughout his NBA journey, the Grizzlies star has undergone a transformative experience. His conduct in the previous season led to a tumultuous period for the team’s most valuable asset. Currently serving a 25-game suspension as a consequence, Morant has indicated through social media posts that he eagerly anticipates wearing the Grizzlies uniform again.
