The Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant, who has missed nine games, is expected to return to action against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins told ESPN’s Tim MacMahon and other media members (Twitter link).

“Obviously, I’ve made mistakes in the past that cause a lot of negative attention – not only to me, but my family as well, my team, the organization – and I’m completely sorry for that,” Morant said. “So my job now is, like I said, to be more responsible, more smarter, and don’t cause any of that no more.”
