Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant electrified the court and social media with his return from a 25-game suspension on Tuesday night. Not only did he lead his team to a nail-biting 115-113 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans with a buzzer-beating shot and 34 points, but his heartwarming moments with his mother, Jamie, captured hearts online.

Before the game, Jamie's encouraging words, "Have a great return game. You ready?" received a simple yet powerful reply from her son: "I'm your son... You know the answer." This exchange resonated with fans, showcasing the unbreakable bond between mother and star athlete.

After the game, Jamie showered her son with well-deserved praise, celebrating his spectacular performance. These emotional moments highlight the importance of family and support for athletes returning from adversity.

Morant's return couldn't have come at a better time for the Grizzlies, who were struggling with a 7-19 record in his absence. His comeback brings renewed hope to Memphis, aiming to improve on their standing and compete for the playoffs.

The young All-Star expressed his excitement to be back in action, sharing the lessons he learned during his suspension: "I'm a dog. I put work in. I ain't played a game in eight months, had a lot of time to learn, myself. Lot of hard days where I went through it. Basketball is my life, what I love. Therapeutic for me. I'm just excited to be back."

The Grizzlies clearly missed their key player, losing 19 of their first 25 games without him. However, with Morant back in the lineup, alongside the scoring prowess of Desmond Bane (24.6 points) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (21.4 points), the Grizzlies are poised for a strong push in the remaining season.
