Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) will not suit up for Friday's match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right quadriceps injury. He will miss his fifth consecutive game and will likely not play another minute this season, as the Grizzlies are out of playoff contention. Injuries are nothing new for Memphis this year, as they continue to rely on many inexperienced players. Their frontout remains thin as Brandon Clarke (hand) is also out for Friday's contest. Fantasy managers can expect Trey Jemison to handle a heavy workload once again, as he played 36 minutes last game.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as the team gears up to meet San Antonio on Tuesday. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is nursing a right quadriceps injury. Santi Aldama (foot) is also on the shelf, resulting in big minutes to the likes of Trey Jemison, Maozinha Pereira, and GG Jackson II. Brandon Clarke also benefits in the situation, although his minutes are closely monitored following his comeback from an Achilles tear. However, Clarke has been productive when on the court, tallying 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. Memphis' big men face a difficult challenge against Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This seems odd considering Jackson has been playing in basically every game since the middle of March. Possibly, the Grizzlies feel that it's time to give Jackson a rest day. Regardless, the absence of Jackson will open up significant playing time in the rotation. GG Jackson, Lamar Stevens, and Jake LaRavia figure to benefit the most with Jackson sidelined. Between the trio, Jackson is the best streaming option out of the reserves.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has been cleared to play after sitting out during Wednesday's game due to a right quad issue. Trey Jemison should shift back to the second unit with Jackson returning on Saturday. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Jackson back in their lineups for Saturday's slate.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) might be out for another game on Saturday against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year has already been unavailable for the past two games. Trey Jemison has picked up a pair of starts this week and should get another opportunity on Saturday if Jackson Jr. isn't ready to return. He's played well and is looking at a potential crush spot, as OKC has one of the lowest rebounding rates in the league.
Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. His status was uncertain coming into this game as he was listed as questionable on the injury report. Trey Jemison figures to see a boost in playing time with Jackson sidelined. He hasn't been a great fantasy asset, but the boost in playing time should make him worth a look in deep leagues.
The Memphis Grizzlies have listed center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) as doubtful for Wednesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Right quad tendonitis cost Jackson three games from March 1 to March 4, and the big man is expected to sit out his second straight matchup and the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back with the issue after missing Tuesday's home victory over the Washington Wizards. The 23-43 Grizzlies have little incentive at this stage of the season to rush back the reigning Defensive Player of the Year ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Should Santi Aldama (elbow) join Jackson on the sidelines, third-stringer Trey Jemison would be the last traditional big man standing and likely dominate center minutes after racking up a career-high 24 points against Washington.
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) won't face the Wizards on Tuesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest with right quadriceps tendonitis. Jackson Jr. steps out of the lineup after playing in three consecutive games, and he will miss a very good opportunity to stuff the stat sheet, as Washington has been awful against opposing bigs throughout the campaign. Trey Jemison could slide back into the starting unit without Jackson, while there's also a possibility of the team giving an extended look to Wenyen Gabriel, who's on a 10-day contract. Santi Aldama should get some burn at the center position as well, and he's by far the best fantasy option.
Jaren Jackson Jr. Returns To Action Versus Philadelphia
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been cleared to return to action against the 76ers on Wednesday. He'll get back to work after sitting out three games with a right quadriceps issue. Jackson Jr.'s return is set to push Trey Jemison back to the bench, where his fantasy value will be non-existent. Meanwhile, Jackson Jr. himself could be in for a feast, as Philadelphia remains without Joel Embiid (knee), and the visitors will likely have a tough time guarding the Grizzlies big man. In his last appearance, Jackson Jr. had an outstanding game against Minnesota's tough defense with a 33-point, 13-rebound double-double, and his overall productivity had been trending up before he got hurt.
Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable To Face Philadelphia
Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's in danger of missing a fourth consecutive contest. Trey Jemison has made two starts during Jackson Jr.'s absence, while Santi Aldama and Lamar Stevens have also benefited. With Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the 76ers, this could be a good matchup for the Grizzlies bigs. Memphis will also face a tired team after Philadelphia suffered a 112-107 road loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.
