Impact The Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, but Jackson has been producing when healthy. He's scored in double digits in every game he's played so far while also putting up decent -- yet unspectacular -- numbers in the rebounding and blocking categories. Through six appearances, Jackson is averaging 19.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals per contest.

The 25-year-old is still ramping up from a hamstring injury he sustained during training camp, and his minutes will likely be monitored with Santi Aldama and Jake LaRavia stepping up until Jackson is 100 percent.
