Ja Morant Spectacular Return Sparks Surge Memphis Grizzlies Ticket Prices

Ja Morant's return to the court has sent ticket prices for his first home game soaring by 340% as fans flock to see him play.

NBA fans are experiencing the incredible impact of Ja Morant's return to the court as ticket prices for his first home game have soared. Prior to Morant's season debut, Grizzlies tickets were some of the least popular in the league, often starting at just $5. However, after his remarkable performance and game-winning shot on Tuesday, ticket prices for tonight's game against the Pelicans have skyrocketed by an astonishing 340%, according to TickPick.

Just earlier this week, tickets were priced at a modest $10, but after Morant's comeback, they have now reached $44. This sudden surge in prices reflects the excitement and demand generated by Morant's return, highlighting his influence on the team's appeal and fan interest.

After serving a 25-game suspension, Ja Morant made a triumphant return to the court, showcasing his electrifying skills as he led the Memphis Grizzlies to an incredible comeback against the New Orleans Pelicans. Morant's outstanding performance included 34 points, six rebounds, and eight assists, culminating in the game-winning shot at the buzzer. Despite being down by 24 points, the Grizzlies orchestrated an impressive turnaround, outscoring the Pelicans 79-53 in the final 24 minutes and 40 seconds of the game.

"I called 12... That's the play I wanted to run right there," Morant shared. "They believe in me. I actually wanted to go to Trip (JJJ) in the post. They told me 'no.' So I had to deliver for them."

The highlight of the night came as Morant went head-to-head against the Pelicans' formidable defender, Herb Jones. With the clock winding down, Morant executed a dazzling spin move and a perfectly timed shot that found the basket, securing the comeback victory for Memphis. The arena erupted in celebration as Morant's stellar display affirmed his status as one of the league's most dynamic and impactful players.
