The Memphis Grizzlies welcomed back their best player on Wednesday night.
Ja Morant was suspended eight games by the NBA for being seen holding a gun on social media.
Now that his suspension is up, Morant returned to court right in time to help the Grizzlies improve their seeding.
In his first game back he played a limited role.
Morant came off the bench and played only 24 minutes in the game.
But, he made his impact felt over that short period.
He is known for making many highlight plays, and that was once again the case in this one.
Morant even added another incredible dunk to his reel.

Memphis only has 10 games left in the regular season, and they seem like a lock for the two-seed in the West.
The rest of the season will be about getting Morant back into the fold.
It will be interesting to see how Morant is received by opposing crowds for the rest of the season.
He made a brutal mistake and now some fans will hold that against him.
Plus, the Grizzlies are already one of the more outspoken teams in the NBA.
They will have to play in many hostile environments come playoff time, and it will be fun to see how they respond to that.
All in all, the Grizzlies have to be thrilled to have Morant back on the court.
Memphis has championship aspirations, and it will be no easy task maneuvering through the Western Conference this year.
