Upon his return, Ja Morant demonstrated his talent by deciding the game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a crucial shot. The point guard averaged an impressive 25 points, 5.6 rebounds and 8.1 assists.

The team’s campaign, which had been improving, tends to return to the level of the first 25 matches, resulting in an unfavorable position. Currently, the franchise occupies 13th place in the Western Conference, with 13 wins and 23 losses.
