Considering all the injuries they have dealt with, the Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the more impressive teams in the Western Conference so far this season

Nearly three weeks after a hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains, Morant has reached the final steps of his recovery process before a potential return. A hip subluxation is an injury where the ball of the hip partially slips out of socket before sliding back on its own.

Ja Morant returned to the lineup after missing eight games with a right hip injury and scored 22 points with 11 assists to lead the host Memphis Grizzlies to a 123-98 victory Monday night over the Portland Trail Blazers.
