GG Jackson News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Won't play Friday Jackson has been ruled out for Friday's exhibition against the Hornets due to an ankle injury, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.

Impact Head coach Tuomas Iisalo said that Jackson tweaked his ankle during Friday's preseason win over the Bulls, so he'll miss Friday's preseason finale and will be listed as "day-to-day." For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Jazz.

Leads bench in scoring Friday Jackson finished Friday's 104-100 preseason win over the Bulls with 14 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes.

Impact Jackson ended up leading the Grizzlies in field-goal attempts and finished Friday's exhibition contest as the team's second-leading scorer behind Ty Jerome (16 points). Jackson has enjoyed some success in Memphis since being selected by the franchise in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, though he figures to be limited to a bench role given the offseason additions of Cameron Boozer (2026 Draft) and Jerami Grant (trade).

Logs 15 points from bench Jackson posted 15 points (5-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and a steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 preseason loss to the Magic.

Impact Jackson followed up a strong preseason debut with another strong scoring night and also contributed on the glass. He's in the final year of his contract and fighting for minutes in a crowded wing rotation that added Jerami Grant in the offseason, so continuing his steady preseason work is his best chance to move up the depth chart.

Notches 14 points in preseason Jackson recorded 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason win over Atlanta.

Impact Jackson provided instant offense and didn't commit a turnover during his limited action. He's not considered a favorite for a starting spot, but performances like Monday's could help him earn minutes in a crowded wing and forward rotation.

Faces competition for steady playing time With Cameron Boozer, Karim Lopez (undisclosed) and Jerami Grant now in the mix, Jackson faces increased competition for playing time in the 2026-27 campaign.

Impact The Grizzlies are expected to focus on developing their young talent this season, though Jackson still faces plenty of competition for minutes. Memphis drafted Boozer and Lopez in June before acquiring Grant in the Ja Morant deal later that month. Jackson has flashed potential throughout his time in the NBA, which the Grizzlies rewarded this summer by exercising his $2.4 million team option. The 21-year-old's long-term upside could help him retain a meaningful role, but he isn't guaranteed steady minutes when the team is at full strength. Jackson is coming off a solid season for an injury-riddled Grizzlies squad in 2025-26, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 combined steals-plus-blocks while shooting 49.6 percent from the field across 21.4 minutes per game in 55 regular-season appearances (28 starts).

Team option exercised The Grizzlies exercised Jackson's (knee) $2.4 million team option Monday, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact Jackson is coming off a letdown of a 2025-26 campaign, but the Grizzlies are still believers in his long-term upside. Across 55 regular-season contests, he averaged 12.45 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 49.6 percent shooting from the field.

Impact The third-year forward led all scorers on the night, but only two other Grizzlies even scored in double digits in the rout. Jackson is having an impressive surge to close out the campaign, scoring 10-plus points in 21 straight appearances since the All-Star break while averaging 18.0 points, 5.3 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 blocks in only 25.6 minutes a contest and shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.
