Memphis Grizzlies' Ja Morant (knee) to return Saturday vs. New Orleans

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant will make his return to the court Saturday, the team announced.

Morant had not played since injuring his right knee on March 18. He's been listed as out with a sore knee since then.

The Grizzlies have thrived with Morant on and off the court this season and are 20-4 in games in which he doesn't play, although they have dropped their last two.

Memphis has already secured the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said they'll monitor Morant's minutes throughout the game.
