SALT LAKE CITY – Sidelined by back soreness the past week, Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant took a significant step on the path to a potential return when he participated in Friday’s full practice.
But the reigning Western Conference rookie of the month will have to wait at least one more game.
We’ll see some more how he responds, but everything is progressing well. Like with all guys coming back from an injury, we don’t want to jump too far ahead and get him back too soon.
Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed after the team’s workout in Utah on Friday that Morant has made steady progress in his recovery.
