As of January 18, J.Valančiūnas was separated from the team, and 12 days later announced that he was fighting COVID-19. It is true that the basketball player was saved for a while and finally returned to the park on Saturday night.
And he returned successfully.
Behind the bench, JV spent 24 minutes on the court, during which he scored 23 points (7/9 doubles, 2/2 trit. 3/3 year penalty), bounced 7 balls, made 2 assists, blocked 1 opponent’s pitch , 3 times wrong and once transgressed.
Already in the first 11 minutes of his game, John had scored 15 points.
For the winners, Brandon Ingram scored 27 points and rebounded with 12 balls, with Zion Williamson being the most productive with 29 points.
Eric Bledsoe scored 11 of his 21 points in the deciding half.
And he was extremely tense. At one point, the Grizzlies led by seven points, but the Pelicans won the final seven-minute stretch 23: 7 and celebrated the victory.
Kyle Anderson scored 21 points for the losers, 16 added by Ja Morant.
Next Monday’s home game will be played by the Grizzlies with an important competitor of J. Valančiūnas: the Toronto Raptors team.
