The Memphis Grizzlies have been without their star point guard for some time now.
Ja Morant was suspended by the Grizzlies and then the NBA for holding a gun in an Instagram live video.
His eight-game suspension has finished and he is eligible to return to the court on Monday night.
But he will not play in that game.
According to Shams Charania, we might see Morant back with the Grizzlies as soon as Wednesday.

Even without Morant, the Grizzlies have been able to win games.
They have gone 6-4 in their last 10 games, and sit tied for second place in the Western Conference.
Morant might be the added boost the team needs to reclaim sole possession of the two-seed.
It will be interesting to see how Morant is greeted by NBA fans across the league.
He showed a serious lack of judgment by posting his personal life on social media.
It would not be a surprise to see him get booed by opposing fans.
Also, since this incident, Morant deleted all of his social media accounts.
He will no longer have the temptation to post anything that he should not.
As for the Grizzlies, they still feel like they can win the NBA Finals.
They have a team full of confident players, but none have won anything in the playoffs.
This season will be their chance to back up all of the trash talk and prove they can win big games in the playoffs.
