Mike Conley returned to FedExForum Friday night. Ja Morant showed him his old team is in good hands.

Only months after being traded, franchise leading scorer Mike Conley returns to FedExForum, where he'll face his point guard inheritor, Ja Morant, for the first time. It's a meeting of Grizzlies past, present and future.

The lead went back and forth, but the Grizzlies beat the Hornets 119-117. It was a team effort, but credit rookie point guard Ja Morant with the buzzer shot, to go with his first double-double.

At 3-7, the Grizzlies have played to expectations after 10 games, but the real meaning this season is in the details. By that measure, the rebuilding team is off to a promising start. 

The Grizzlies grabbed their first road win of the season, 113-109, at San Antonio as Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 24 points and Jonas Valanciunas put up a double-double with 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Ja Morant's controversial night off was the Grizzlies storyline of the weekend; his meeting with Mike Conley a featured attraction on the horizon. Grizz Week wraps up last week and sets up this one. 

After a 138-122 loss to the Dallas Mavericks as rookie point guard Ja Morant was rested, Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins and players agree the team's defense is far behind its offense.

Ja Morant will miss his first NBA game as the Grizzlies decide to rest their rookie star the first back-to-back game of the season. 

Road woes continued for the Grizzlies, who suffered their worst loss of the season in Orlando.

Jaren Jackson Jr.'s stuttering development, Brandon Clarke's fast start, Ja Morant's minutes and a Tony Allen/Shane Battier comp are among the subjects on Grizzlies' fans' minds in this week's Mailbag. 

Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks combined for 57 points as the Grizzlies notched their second win of the season over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Grizzlies may be 1-5, but Ja Morant alone -- no matter his minutes -- has made this early season a big success. 

Rookie Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant earned praise from Houston's James Harden Monday night, but ultimately Harden's 44 points were too much for them on a night when they missed 22 of 25 shots from long range. 

The Grizzlies' fast pace of play hasn't yet equated to overall efficiency and winning, but is stylistically, and practically, the only choice when your point guard is quick-twitch Ja Morant. 

While Saturday night’s game at FedExForum against the Suns didn’t completely unravel in the third quarter, it did start to slip away as the Grizzlies trailed by 13 to start the fourth.

Devin Booker scored 21 points and Aron Baynes hit a career-high four 3-pointers and had 20 points in the Phoenix Suns' 114-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.

Veteran Jae Crowder wondered if the Grizzlies might have been getting some harsh treatment from NBA officials. But when he looked at the film, he saw truth: "We've been fouling."

Jaren Jackson's fouls, Ja Morant's floaters, a couple of incoming might-have-beens and three more observations on the first week of Grizzlies basketball.

Lakers star Anthony Davis lived at the free-throw line as the Grizzlies went down hard in Los Angeles. 

Two years ago, Josh Jackson was the No. 4 overall pick in the NBA Draft. Now, he starts this season with the Grizzlies' G League affiliate Memphis Hustle with a lot of proving to do on-court and off. 

In his third professional game and second on the FedExForum floor, rookie guard Ja Morant gave Grizzlies fans everything they wanted, including the season’s first win. 

Thaddeus Young only scored 7 points against the Grizzlies Friday night, but the Mitchell High product's veteran influence was very much a part of the Chicago Bulls' comeback victory. 

The Grizzlies tipped off a new era at FedExForum Friday. And, baby, it was a very good night. 

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, but the Grizzlies fell to the Chicago Bulls in their home opener.
