Grizzlies’ Ja Morant sinks epic winner at buzzer in return from 25-game ban

• All-Star guard caps 34-point night with game-winning shot
• Morant was banned over social media antics with handguns

Ja Morant capped a stirring, 34-point season debut with a spinning dribble in the lane to set up a game-winning floater as time expired in the Memphis Grizzlies' 115-113 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

The Grizzlies, who entered on a five-game skid and were 6-19 during Morant's 25-game suspension for his social media antics with guns, trailed by 24 in the first half but took a 113-111 lead on Morant's inside basket with 1:22 to go.
