Top Jaren Jackson Jr. News

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Continues scoring run

    Jackson provided 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-111 victory over the 76ers.

    Jackson has emerged as a reliable scoring weapon for the Grizzlies in the absence of Ja Morant (hip), but the big man has performed better than initially expected. He's embraced being a go-to player on offense and has notched at least 20 points in seven of his last eight games. The former Michigan State standout is averaging 25.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor in that span.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Leads Memphis in victory

    Jackson contributed 20 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over Denver.

    Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring and is embracing his role as one of the team's go-to players on offense due to the absence of Ja Morant (hip). The big man has scored at least 20 points in six games in a row, averaging 26.7 points and shooting 51.4 percent from the field in that stretch. Those numbers should face a regression once Morant is fully healthy, but for now, Jackson remains a solid contributor in all formats who's putting up above-average scoring numbers compared to his career figures.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Pours in 32 in Friday's loss

    Jackson logged 32 points (11-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 123-118 loss to Golden State.

    The 25-year-old forward has been the focal point of the Grizzlies' offense during the latest absence for Ja Morant (hip), and while Jackson failed to drain at least one three-pointer Friday for the first time in November, he made up for it with season-best volume from the free-throw line. Over the last four games without Morant on the court, Jackson is averaging 30.0 points, 6.5 boards, 2.5 threes, 1.8 steals, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: 29-point effort not enough in loss

    Jackson ended Wednesday's 128-123 loss to the Lakers with 29 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.

    Jackson has embraced a bigger role on offense with Ja Morant (hip) and Desmond Bane (oblique) sidelined, and he's putting up excellent numbers as one of the Grizzlies' go-to players. He's averaging 25.0 points per game in November while shooting 54 percent from the field, and he's also scored at least 20 points in each of his last five outings.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Scores 20 points Sunday

    Jackson contributed 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals across 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring Sunday and continues to deliver in a bigger-than-anticipated role on offense. The big man has been thriving of late, and although the bigger responsibility on offense is tied to the absence of players such as Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), Jackson is stepping up when called upon duty. He's averaging 24.2 points per game since the beginning of November, which is a marked upgrade over the 18.8 points per tilt he scored in four October appearances.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Explodes for 39 points Friday

    Jackson ended with 39 points (14-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 128-104 win over the Wizards.

    Jackson came close to matching his career-best scoring mark of 44 points, and the big man enjoyed the increased responsibility on offense. The Grizzlies are down several starters due to injuries, such as Ja Morant (hip), Marcus Smart (ankle) and Desmond Bane (oblique), so Jackson should enjoy a more significant role on offense in the coming games. That could improve his scoring figures and shooting percentages.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Strong two-way play Wednesday

    Jackson closed Wednesday's 131-114 victory over the Lakers with 20 points (8-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 32 minutes.

    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.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Paces scoring effort

    Jackson finished with 27 points (11-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-107 victory over the 76ers.

    Jackson led Memphis in scoring and enjoyed an efficient night, drilling 68.8 percent of his attempts from the field. He's looked sharp of late after a slow start to the 2024-25 season, putting up 27 or more points in two of his last three appearances. It was also a positive sign to see the 25-year-old produce at such a high level on the defensive end after lacking in that area through his first four games.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Outstanding in loss to Brooklyn

    Jackson amassed 30 points (10-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), four rebounds and three steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 loss to the Nets.

    Jackson led the Grizzlies in scoring Wednesday, but his impressively efficient output wasn't enough to avoid losing to the rebuilding Nets. Jackson missed the first two games of the season but has been excellent since making his debut in the win over Magic on Oct. 26. He's averaging 20.7 points per game while shooting 60.5 percent from the field over three regular-season appearances.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Makes 2024-25 debut Saturday

    Jackson contributed 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Saturday's 124-111 victory over Orlando.

    Jackson was solid in his 2024-25 debut, though he did struggle from the charity stripe and failed to execute on two attempts from beyond the arc. 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.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Will be available Saturday

    Jackson (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.

    Jackson was tabbed as a game-time call, with a decision being made after shootaround, but in the end, the star big man will be available for the second half of this back-to-back set. Jackson missed the Grizzlies' first two games of the campaign, and it's unclear if he'll have any sort of minutes restriction Saturday.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Questionable for Saturday

    Jackson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Magic.

    Jackson is in danger of missing his third straight contest to begin the season Saturday while dealing with a left hamstring strain. However, Jackson being listed as questionable instead of doubtful is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Absence streak continues

    Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Rockets, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

    Jackson sustained a hamstring strain during training camp and will miss his second consecutive regular-season matchup. However, coach Taylor Jenkins said the 25-year-old has progressed well in scrimmages and is on track to return for the club's first regular-season home game Saturday against the Magic, according to Wallace. With Jackson out, Santi Aldama is expected to start alongside Zach Edey in the frontcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Doubtful for Friday

    Jackson (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's matchup versus the Rockets.

    Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring strain he sustained during training camp. While the 25-year-old was expected to be back by the opener, he is now in jeopardy of missing the club's first two regular-season games. If Jackson does not give it a go, Santi Aldama will likely pick up the start once again, and he could serve as a viable streaming option.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Will miss season opener

    Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

    According to head coach Taylor Jenkins, Jackson needs a couple more days of conditioning work and 5-on-5 scrimmaging before getting the green light to play. A return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockets isn't out of the question, but Saturday's home game versus Orlando is the more realistic target. With Jackson out for the opener while he tends to what Jenkins has referred to as a low-grade hamstring strain, Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama could all be tasked with covering more minutes in the frontcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Won't play Friday

    Jackson (hamstring) is out for Friday's preseason game versus the Heat, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

    Jackson has yet to play this preseason while dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain. However, Jackson is expected to suit up for Memphis' regular-season opener against the Jazz on Oct. 23.

  • Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Partial practice participant

    Jackson (hamstring) practiced Wednesday, but he remains questionable for Friday's preseason finale versus Miami, Michael Wallace of the Grizzlies' official site reports.

    Jackson continues to deal with a low-grade hamstring strain, and while he has yet to be fully cleared, the fact he has a chance to suit up Friday bodes well for his future availability. A decision on Jackson's status for Friday's game "will be made after Thursday's workout," per coach Taylor Jenkins.
