Ja Morant averaged 26.3 points and 6.3 assists on 55% shooting in his first 3 games this season.
The Memphis Grizzlies announced Ja Morant will start Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing eight games with a sprained left ankle.

Morant, the NBA’s reigning Rookie of the Year, was listed as questionable Thursday before Friday’s game with the Timberwolves was postponed.
Expected to miss 3-5 weeks when he was injured on Dec. 28 and wheeled off the court, Morant’s quick recovery is a boost for the Grizzlies as the schedule gets tougher.
Morant scored 72 points in the Grizzlies’ first two games, including a career-high 44 points in the season opener.
