Ja Morant tallied double-double, leading the Grizzlies with 22 points and 11 assists in his return to the lineup. Jaren Jackson Jr. shook off a slow offensive start and ended the night with 21 points. A total of 10 Grizzlies players scored at least five points. Memphis (11-7) used an 11-man rotation throughout Monday's game.

Ja Morant is in the lineup for the Grizzlies against Portland after missing Memphis' previous eight games with hip and pelvic muscle injuries.

Nearly three weeks after a hip subluxation and multiple Grade 1 pelvic muscle strains, Morant has reached the final steps of his recovery process before a potential return. A hip subluxation is an injury where the ball of the hip partially slips out of socket before sliding back on its own.
