Grizzlies' Ja Morant: Posts double-double in return

Morant recorded 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Friday's 125-104 victory over the Bucks.

Morant was cleared to play closer to tipoff, and as head coach Tuomas Iisalo announced before the game, his minutes were monitored, as he logged only 25. Fortunately for the Grizzlies, the team secured an easy 19-point win, and fantasy managers who continue to trust Morant should be happy as well as he recorded a double-double despite the playing time restriction. It's unclear if Morant will have a minutes restriction going forward, but it'll be difficult to keep him on the bench for too long if he plays like he did Friday. This was his fifth double-double on the campaign.
