The Grizzlies were all smiles after watching Ja Morant's fun-to-be-around work 'engagement' pay off in a jaw-dropping return from injury.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant returned from an eight-game injury absence on Monday night. Helping lead Memphis to a win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Morant tallied 22 points, 11 assists, and two rebounds in 23 minutes of action.

Ja Morant made an immediate impact with the Memphis Grizzlies in his return to the lineup after missing eight games — and almost three weeks — with hip and pelvic muscle injuries.
