Jaren Jackson Jr. Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) will play on Friday versus Cleveland. He suffered a sprained ankle in the March 3 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. As a result, the 25-year-old missed the last five games. Before going down, Jackson was having an excellent season, averaging 22.7 points, a career-high, with 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals. It's unknown if he'll see a minutes restriction. However, Jackson should be back starting in all fantasy lineups, with GG Jackson II heading back to the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has a chance to return from a five-game absence after being listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Defensive Player of the Year sprained his ankle on March 3 against the Atlanta Hawks and hasn't been able to take the court since then. If he's unable to suit up, Zach Edey and GG Jackson II should remain as the starting frontcourt. Brandon Clarke should also see some more opportunities off of the bench, but Edey provides the most stability with 9.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) suffered a Grade 2 left ankle sprain in Monday's meeting with the Hawks. He is considered week-to-week, with the Grizzlies providing an update "as appropriate." The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 22.7 points with 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals during the 2024-25 campaign. He was also named an All-Star for the second time in his career. But now that he'll be on the shelf, Brandon Clarke, amassing 11 points, seven boards, and one block against Atlanta, could work his way back into a consistent role in the rotation. Clarke may even get a few starts, at least until Santi Aldama (calf), who is questionable against OKC on Wednesday, is cleared to suit up. GG Jackson II may also be in line for more work, with Desmond Bane and Ja Morant (shoulder) the favorites to carry more of the load on the offensive end.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) will suit up versus the Rockets on Thursday. The 25-year-old missed the first two games of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he's been on the court ever since, with that trend continuing on Thursday against Houston. Jackson has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 22.7 points with 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 1.5 steals, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats despite a challenging matchup against a Rockets team that has allowed only 106.8 points per game, the third-best in the National Basketball Association.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (thigh) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's matchup against Houston. He is nursing thigh soreness and might be out of action for the first time since missing the first two games of the season. Jay Huff was promoted to the starting unit for the second half against Dallas on Monday, and Jackson Jr.'s absence could give him further momentum. Brandon Clarke and Jake LaRavia might also benefit, while Santi Aldama (ankle) is on the comeback trail and is definitely a candidate to put in a big shift on the frontcourt.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Jackson will miss his second straight game due to a hamstring issue. It sounds like Jackson is trending in the right direction, so hopefully he's available for Saturday's contest versus the Orlando Magic. Santi Aldama figures to remain in the starting five for at least one more game. He finished with 27 points, five rebounds, and two assists across 31 minutes in the season opener. Aldama is looking like a reliable streaming option until Jackson is ready to play again.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 25-year-old continues to battle a hamstring strain. He wasn't available for the opener on Wednesday, although Santi Aldama filled the void admirably by finishing with 27 points off 10-for-16 shooting (5-for-10 from deep). Jackson is inching his way back to the floor. But until he returns, Aldama could continue to benefit offensively.

Head coach Taylor Jenkins said that the former Defensive Player of the Year will be out while he continues to deal with a hamstring injury. He is expected back later this week, so his absence shouldn't last that long. Santi Aldama would likely move into the starting power forward spot while Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke should both see increased opportunities.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a low-level hamstring strain following an MRI. The former Defensive Player of the Year left the first practice of training camp after experiencing tightness in his hamstring. Head coach Taylor Jenkins described the MRI results as "good news," and emphasized there are "no concerns" about Jackson Jr. being ready for the regular-season opener. Jenkins also noted, "He's already responded well to treatment," and the team will work with the performance staff to determine his return-to-play timeline. Jackson Jr. will focus on recovery in the meantime.

Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed Jackson will get an MRI exam to learn the extent of the injury. "We're anticipating a strain," Jenkins said. If the 25-year-old misses significant time, it will be a big blow to Memphis, as he averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 32.3 minutes across 66 regular-season games last year.
