Ja Morant is officially back.

On Tuesday night, Morant returned from a 25-game suspension stemming from social media videos in which he was seen holding a gun.

In his return, Morant scored 34 points, including 14 points in the fourth quarter and the game-winning shot.

While making his way to the locker room after the game, Morant yelled, “I kept receipts too.”

In his postgame interview, Morant spoke about what it was like playing in his first game back from suspension.

“I’m a dog, I put work in day out, I’ve been putting work in, I haven’t played a game in eight months, had a lot of time to learn my life, a lot of hard days that I went through it but basketball is my life, it’s what I love it’s therapeutic, I’m just excited to be back.”

Morant also explained the final play of the game.

“Call 12… that’s the play I wanted to run right there, they believed in me…I actually wanted to go to “Trip” in the post but they told me no, so I had to deliver for ’em”
