Rejoins second unit Jackson will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Washington.

Impact Memphis' lineups usually change by the day with the amount of injuries on the roster, and the coaching staff has been experimenting with different lineups. Despite the move to the bench, Jackson is likely to maintain a big role and produced 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes of Sunday's loss to the Thunder.

Erupts for 30 points Jackson notched 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes during Sunday's 124-93 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Jackson had missed the previous game with a knee issue, but given the workload he saw Sunday, it was likely a precaution. Memphis' rotations have been very unpredictable due to injuries and how they've handled the eligibility of their two-way players, but Jackson will usually have a key role every time he's active.

Starting Sunday Jackson (knee) will start at shooting guard in Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Active Sunday Jackson (knee) is available for Sunday's contest against Oklahoma City.

Impact Jackson will return from a one-game absence due to left knee soreness. Efficiency has been a struggle of late for the 19-year-old, who is averaging 10.0 points and 4.7 rebounds on 26.5 percent shooting off 11.3 shots in his last three games.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Jackson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Jackson missed Friday's game versus Orlando, but he remains day-to-day. Luke Kennard (knee) is also questionable, while John Konchar (ankle) and Jordan Goodwin (ankle) are doubtful. If Jackson gets the green light, he'd likely see significant minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Out for Friday Jackson (knee) will not play in Friday's game versus Orlando.

Impact Jackson was carrying a questionable tag before the Grizzlies ruled him out, so that likely means that he's day-to-day.

Impact Jackson might have ended with a decent stat line, but he earned nearly half his points from the charity stripe following a dismal shooting effort. Jackson has been remarkably consistent as a scorer in recent weeks, even if he's prone to deliver some inefficient performances, and the numbers back that up. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last 10 appearances off the bench, averaging 16.5 points per game and shooting 45.2 percent from the field in that span.

On track to play Friday Coach Taylor Jenkins said Jackson (quadriceps) will likely play Friday against Portland, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Jackson is officially listed as questionable due to a right quad contusion, but it sounds like the rookie second-round pick will play through the pain. Since Jan. 13, Jackson has appeared in 20 of 21 games (one start), averaging 13.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game during that stretch.

Excellent off bench Thursday Jackson provided 27 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound and one block in 30 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 win over the Bucks.

Impact Jackson tied his career-best scoring output Thursday despite coming off the bench, and the rookie out of South Carolina continues to make an impact for a depleted Grizzlies team. He's going through his most productive stretch of the campaign and has scored in double digits in six straight appearances, averaging 20.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in that stretch. Plus, it's worth noting each of his last five outings in that span have seen him come off the bench, so he's performing at a high level regardless of his role.

Impact The 19-year-old rookie returned from a one-game disciplinary suspension by the Grizzlies and just missed recording his first career double-double while leading all scorers on the night and swatting away a career-high three blocks. Jackson has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine games, averaging 15.3 points, 5.2 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.2 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch as the 2023 second-round pick carves out a significant role in the Memphis frontcourt.
