MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant delighted fans by giving away 250 pairs of tickets to Friday’s game against the Utah Jazz. The excitement unfolded on Wednesday at FedExForum, as fans eagerly awaited Morant’s highly anticipated return to the court after a nearly month-long absence due to a calf strain.
Vernita Flynn, a devoted Grizzlies fan, shared her enthusiasm about the ticket giveaway. “I was almost home in Parkway Village when I called my husband because I was listening to John Lawson, and he mentioned the tickets,” Flynn recalled. “I said, ‘Honey, we’re going down to get some tickets,’ and it was well worth it. The weather was beautiful, the people, the conversation. This is off the chain.”
For those who were unable to snag free tickets, the Grizzlies are making the game accessible with ticket prices starting as low as $12. This initiative highlights the team’s commitment to its fan base, ensuring that everyone has a chance to witness Morant’s return and support the team.
The atmosphere is expected to be electric as fans flock to see their star player back in action, celebrating not only the game but the community spirit that makes Memphis a unique place for basketball.
