Jackson closed with six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 114-113 loss to Golden State.

Rotowire
Jackson finished with 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 28 minutes of Saturday's 92-80 Summer League win over the Thunder.
The 2023 second-rounder missed the first three months of the 2024-25 season while recovering from a procedure to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, so it's not a surprise that he wants to hit the ground running by participating in Summer League. Jackson appeared in just 29 regular-season games for the Grizzlies during his second NBA season, averaging 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 15.8 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Sent to G League
Rotowire
The Grizzlies assigned Jackson to the G League's Memphis Hustle on Monday.
After playing 26 minutes in a starting role March 10 against the Suns, Jackson has seen his playing time drop in each of the Grizzlies' ensuing three games. The second-year forward logged just eight minutes in Saturday's blowout win over the Heat, and his assignment to the G League likely signals that he would have been at risk of falling out of the rotation had he stuck around with the Grizzlies for Monday's contest in Sacramento. Jackson will presumably stick around with the Hustle through their contest Wednesday versus the Valley Suns, though it's uncertain how much longer beyond that he'll stay in the G League.

Grizzlies' GG Jackson: Solid total from bench in loss
Rotowire
Jackson ended with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-114 loss to the Clippers.
Jackson came in handy off the bench with Ja Morant taking a seat in the back-to-back. While Scotty Pippen and Luke Kennard have been Morant's direct replacements in recent weeks, the South Carolina product rotated in for some backcourt work as Desmond Bane's backup during the loss. Although Jackson pops for big numbers on occasion, he's not consistent enough to warrant serious fantasy consideration.
