Jaren Jackson Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Listed questionable for Wednesday Jackson (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Jackson has a chance to return Wednesday following a three-game absence due to right quad tendinitis, which also caused him to miss Memphis' final contest before the All-Star break. Between those two absences, Jackson appeared in three straight games, averaging 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.3 assists in 33.3 minutes during that stretch. If Jackson remains out Wednesday, Santi Aldama, Vince Williams and GG Jackson would be candidates for increased usage.

Downgraded to out Jackson (quad) is inactive for Monday's game against Brooklyn, Rob Fischer of Bally Sports Southeast reports.

Doubtful for Monday Jackson (quad) is doubtful to play Monday versus Brooklyn.

Impact Jackson is trending towards missing his third consecutive game due to right quad tendinitis. Memphis was dismantled 111-86 by Brooklyn's bottom-10 ranked offense Monday even while Jackson logged 30 minutes. His absence would likely leave Santi Aldama and GG Jackson with the majority of power forward minutes.

Out again Saturday Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Jackson will miss both halves of Memphis' back-to-back set against the Trail Blazers after dropping 33 points, 13 rebounds and three steals during a Feb. 28 loss in Minnesota. Trey Jemison started in Jackson's absence Friday versus Portland and posted five points, six rebounds and an assist in 30 minutes. Jackson's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Brooklyn.

Won't play Friday Jackson has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right quad tendon soreness.

Impact Jackson appeared in the Grizzlies' last three matchups, averaging 25.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.3 assists in 33.3 minutes per game. However, he'll be unavailable for the first half of a back-to-back set Friday. Lamar Stevens and Trey Jemison are candidates to see increased work against Portland.

Shines in loss to Minnesota Jackson ended Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Timberwolves with 33 points (11-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 38 minutes.

Impact Jackson has been forced to handle a more significant role on offense this season due to the extended absences of players such as Ja Morant (shoulder) and Desmond Bane (ankle), but he has been thriving in that role. This 33-point outing was the ninth time he reached the 30-point plateau in the current campaign, which represents a career-best mark for him, and he's averaging a robust points per game over his last 10 contests.

Impact Jackson was unmistakably the Grizzlies' centerpiece on offense Friday, as no other player on the team attempted more than nine field goals or scored more than 11 points. The big man put forth a valiant effort to keep Memphis close, though his performance ultimately wasn't enough to fend off defeat. Jackson has now posted at least 20 points in nine of his past 10 contests, and he's averaging 25.5 points over that span.

Won't play Thursday Jackson (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jonah Dylan of Memphis News reports.

Impact JJJ's minutes will be absorbed by GG Jackson, Santi Aldama, Ziaire Williams and Lamar Stevens, with Aldama likely being the safest fantasy target out of that group. Jackson will miss Memphis' final game heading into the All-Star break, but he should be good to go for their next game on February 23 versus the Clippers.

Likely out against Milwaukee Jackson is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Bucks due to right quadriceps tendon soreness.

Impact Jackson led all players in Monday's contest in scoring while hauling in a half-dozen rebounds with a trio of assists en route to ending as the lone player with 20 or more points. Jackson has surpassed the 20-point mark in 10 straight outings, adding five or more rebounds in five of those games.

Expected to be available Thursday Jackson (hip) will go through his usual pre-game routine and is expected to be available against the Bulls on Thursday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Jackson has missed the last two games due to right hip soreness, and he will be a game-time call for the matchup against Chicago. All signs point to him being expected to play if he goes through his pre-game routine unscathed. Jackson has scored at least 20 points in each of his previous five appearances.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Jackson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Jackson has missed the past two games for Memphis, which has resulted in Trey Jemison moving into the starting lineup and more minutes falling to GG Jackson. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Thursday, but we'll have a better idea of his status based on his activity level at shootaround.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Officially ruled out Jackson (hip) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact Jackson will miss his second straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with right hip soreness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Chicago.
