Jaren Jackson Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies | FOX Sports

Puts up 30 points in loss Jackson supplied 30 points (10-20 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 34 minutes during Monday's 125-110 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Jackson enjoyed his best offensive game of the campaign, posting a season-best point total to tie for the team lead in scoring. The big man's three triples were also a campaign high, and he's now hit multiple three-pointers in each of his past three contests. Jackson has yet to post a double-digit rebound effort this season, but he's complementing his 18.8 points, 7.0 boards and 1.8 triples per contest with an elite 2.8 blocks per game, making him a valuable asset to roster in fantasy.

Top scorer for Memphis in loss Jackson finished Friday's 108-104 loss to the Nuggets with 21 points (9-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 28 minutes.

Impact He led the Grizzlies in scoring while also making his usual impressive impact on the defensive end. With Ja Morant (suspension) unavailable to begin the season and injuries hitting the frontcourt hard, Jackson should have a bigger role than ever at both ends of the court, and the 24-year-old could end up topping the career-best numbers he posted in 2022-23.

Five blocks in season opener Jackson had eight points (2-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five blocks and three assists over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact The reigning Defensive Player of the Year got off to a hot start in his first game of the 2023-24 season and had three blocks in the first half alone. That was about the only positive he had on the night, however, as he struggled to get it going from the field while also turning the ball over three times and registering five personal fouls. Jackson has never been a strong rebounder despite his 6-foot-11 frame, but he'll need to contribute more on the glass with starting center Steven Adams (knee) ruled out for the year.

Back in starting lineup Jackson (rest) will start Sunday's matchup against the Heat.

Impact Jackson took the night off Thursday, but he's back in the starting lineup Sunday. However, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year will likely be limited to around 25 minutes as he continues to ramp up for the regular season.

Marcus Smart marveling at Grizzlies’ defensive mindset, thinks they can be NBA’s best

Taking the night off Jackson will be rested for Thursday's preseason game against Atlanta, Damichael Cole of Memphis News reports.

Impact Jackson has already played in two preseason games, so this isn't a surprise. In those contests, Jackson averaged 17.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 4.0 blocks.

Dealing with illness Jackson didn't play Sunday for Team USA during the FIBA World Cup third-place game against Canada due to an upper respiratory illness, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Brandon Ingram missed the semifinal matchup versus Germany due to the same issue, and it appears he passed it to Jackson and Paolo Banchero, who were both sidelined Sunday. All three players should be good to go for their respective training camps in October, but it was certainly a disheartening way to end a disappointing tournament for Team USA.
