Ja Morant NBA comeback game tickets bottoming at $11 has fans clowning Grizzlies' star

Ja Morant's return after suspension has fans buzzing, but high ticket prices at the Pelicans' game spark viral discussion.

The highly anticipated return of Ja Morant to the Memphis Grizzlies after serving a 25-game suspension at the start of the 2023-24 season has generated a significant amount of buzz among fans and the basketball community. As Morant prepares to make his comeback against the New Orleans Pelicans, the unexpectedly high ticket prices at the Smoothie King Center have sparked a viral discussion about the value placed on Morant's return by the Pelicans' management.

Social media platforms such as X have been abuzz with witty and humorous takes on the situation. For example, one user humorously suggested that people are avoiding getting "shot" by the Grizzlies' young point guard, while others joked about the need for telescopes with the distant seating arrangements at the arena. Some fans have even considered subscribing to the NBA League Pass as a more practical option for enjoying the game, given the seating conditions.

Despite the negative reactions, there are also positive sentiments expressed online, with some fans viewing the ticket prices as a good deal. The excitement and anticipation surrounding Morant's return are palpable, with the basketball community eagerly awaiting his comeback game against the Pelicans.

Notably, Morant has received support from fellow NBA player LeBron James, who expressed admiration for Morant's impending return on his X account. Morant himself has openly acknowledged the challenges of watching his team struggle without him and has expressed feelings of guilt over the impact of his absence on their performance.

Following the game against the Pelicans, Morant is set to play in front of the Memphis Grizzlies' home crowd at the FedExForum on December 21 against the Indiana Pacers. With the team currently holding a 6-19 record and sitting in 13th place in the NBA Eastern Conference standings, Morant's return is seen as a crucial turning point in the team's season trajectory.

Last season, Morant put up impressive stats, averaging 26.2 points, 8.1 assists, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 61 games played. His ability to make three-pointers and shoot 46% from the field further emphasizes the significant impact he has on the team. The anticipation and excitement surrounding Morant's return highlight the pivotal role he plays in shaping the Memphis Grizzlies' season.
