The Memphis Grizzlies will have one of their most important players back in the lineup Thursday night.
Superstar guard Ja Morant is available to return against the Houston Rockets after missing five games with a sprained shoulder.
The injury occurred on Dec. 27 against the New Orleans Pelicans after a collision with Daniel Theis. He previously missed time with a hip subluxation.
In the games that he has suited up, Morant has averaged 21.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.
The Grizzlies are third in the West with a 24-13 record.
