Suffers broken foot Jackson broke his fifth metatarsal in his right foot earlier this week and will undergo surgery on Sep. 4.
Impact The Grizzlies had a rough time with injuries in the 2023-24 season, and the team is not catching a break even in the offseason. Jackson suffered the injury while playing basketball outside of Dallas on Aug. 27 and following an unstable landing on his right foot. The timetable for recovery has not been provided, but it wouldn't be shocking if Jackson is not fully recovered for the start of the regular season in late October.

Has another big night Jackson recorded 28 points (11-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 120-118 Summer League loss to the Heat.
Impact Jackson was named to the NBA 2K25 All-Summer League First Team earlier in the day, and it's not difficult to see why. He narrowly missed a double-double and shot with efficiency, converting on 68.8 percent of his tries from the field. This was a great finish to Summer League for the 19-year-old forward.

Hands out six dimes in win Jackson dished out six dimes over 32 minutes of play Thursday, adding 17 points (4-of-14 FG, 7-of-8 FT), seven rebounds, two triples and one steal in a 88-77 win over the Pelicans...
Impact Jackson's season-high in dimes last season was four, but he had some impressive dimes during Thursday's game, so it appears that's a part of his game that he's been working on. Scotty Pippen Jr. also showed some impressive playmaking skills during Thursday's win, handing out 11 assists to go with 17 points (6-of-11 FG, 4-of-5 FT), six rebounds, one triple, three steals and just one turnover across 29 minutes. These two have been great in Las Vegas, but if the Grizzlies are healthy next season, it'll be tough for either of these guys to earn enough minutes to make an impact in most 12-team leagues.

Nets 18 points with full line Jackson hit 7-of-14 shots for 18 points, eight rebounds, two assists, three triples and three steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's Summer League loss to the Thunder.
Impact While most of Jackson's stat line was great, his six turnovers were certainly less-than-stellar. Jackson posted some solid stat lines last season while logging big minutes for a team that was missing most of their key guys, but it'll be tough for him to replicate that success in Year 2 if Jaren Jackson Jr. and Brandon Clarke are healthy.

Pours in 31 points Friday Jackson chipped in 31 points (12-23 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 123-120 loss to the Lakers.

Career-high 35 points in loss Jackson supplied 35 points (11-19 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 137-116 loss to Golden State.
Impact The 2023 second-round pick continues to take advantage of all the Grizzlies' injuries and absences, setting a new career scoring high Wednesday as he produced 30-plus points for the second time in the last six games. Jackson is averaging 25.0 points, 5.5 boards, 4.0 threes, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 37.5 minutes a contest over his first six NBA starts, and the 19-year-old forward should remain in a prominent role in the rotation even if players like Vince Williams (knee) start trickling back into the lineup.

Rejoins second unit Jackson will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus Washington.
Impact Memphis' lineups usually change by the day with the amount of injuries on the roster, and the coaching staff has been experimenting with different lineups. Despite the move to the bench, Jackson is likely to maintain a big role and produced 30 points (10-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 38 minutes of Sunday's loss to the Thunder.

Impact Jackson had missed the previous game with a knee issue, but given the workload he saw Sunday, it was likely a precaution. Memphis' rotations have been very unpredictable due to injuries and how they've handled the eligibility of their two-way players, but Jackson will usually have a key role every time he's active.
