After missing two games due to right shoulder soreness, Ja Morant returned to the Memphis Grizzlies ' lineup on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Asked how it was being back on the floor, Morant responded with one word: "Terrible."

Star guard Ja Morant dropped 24 points on 8-22 shooting from the field and 2-9 from beyond the arc, as nothing was enough to match Shai Gilgeous Alexander's 41-point effort. Memphis has now lost seven of their last nine games,

The Grizzlies need Ja Morant to build confidence on offense now so the All-Star can be more assertive in the NBA Playoffs later.
