Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) expected to remain out for Grizzlies' first half
The Memphis Grizzlies will be "ramping up" power forward Jaren Jackson Jr.'s rehab "over the next month or so," per Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins.
What It Means:
Grizzlies beat writer Chris Herrington says the team is taking a cautious approach and he doesn't expect Jackson to make his season debut until after March 4, when the first half of Memphis' season ends. The Grizzlies announced in November that Jackson would "be out a minute" and have been coy on his return.
Ja Morant is leading the Grizzlies with a 30.6 percent usage rate and 35.4 FanDuel points per game this season. Jackson averaged 36.9 FanDuel points over three games in the bubble with 25.3 points, 1.3 steals, 1.7 blocks, and 3.3 3-pointers per contest. He shot 39.4 percent from beyond the arc last year on 6.5 attempts per game and finished top-10 in block percentage for a second consecutive season.
