It&#8217;s rather audacious of you to act like to be opening fire on the crowd given his history.<\/p>\n<p>Ja Morant served a 25-game suspension before making a spectacular comeback to the NBA. He scored 34 points, including a game-winning floater at the buzzer, in a game-winning effort against the New Orleans Pelicans, which highlighted his return.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s just a DANCE <\/p>\n<p>Leave Ja Morant Alone damnnn <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lWM0NgE5CQ\">pic.twitter.com\/lWM0NgE5CQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Out Of Context Baller (@IstoleTweet) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IstoleTweet\/status\/1740037063817441328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 27, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In his debut home game, Morant scored twenty points and dished out eight assists against the Indiana Pacers.
