Ja Morant - Back in action Morant (ankle) has returned to Monday's preseason game against Dallas, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.
Impact This is great news for the Grizzlies, as it's unlikely Morant would be back in the game if there was any chance he had suffered a serious injury. Even so, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Memphis take it easy with the star point guard in terms of playing time the rest of the way Monday.

Impact Morant rolled his right ankle while getting back on defense, and he limped to the locker room shortly thereafter. If he's done for the night, Morant will finish with six points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 10 minutes. Scotty Pippen, Luke Kennard and John Konchar should see more minutes off the bench in Morant's absence.
