Ending 234 Days of Horror, Ja Morant Returns to NBA With a New 3-Lettered Tattoo

The majority of 2023 has been nothing short of a transformative and enlightening journey for Ja Morant. Due to his repetitive immature actions, the NBA imposed a 25-game suspension without pay on Morant. After 234 days of absence, Morant finally returned to the NBA court. In a storybook-like comeback, Morant made a spectacular entry, delivering 34 points in just 35 minutes. To make it all about ‘him,’ he narrated the climax with a game-winning buzzer-beater doing what he does best, taking it to the basket and soaring into the air.

In the post-game interview, Ja Morant made sure to attribute his success to God, emphasizing his newfound allegiance with the forces up above. As fans and fellow athletes buzz with excitement about Morant’s transformed personality on and off the court, there’s also a new element for those who admire the ink on their favorite superstar.

Even amid his suspension, Morant kept his fans updated with snippets from his life, from sharing his latest Spotify discoveries to giving back to his alma mater.
