GG Jackson News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Listed as questionable Jackson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Jackson missed Friday's game versus Orlando, but he remains day-to-day. Luke Kennard (knee) is also questionable, while John Konchar (ankle) and Jordan Goodwin (ankle) are doubtful. If Jackson gets the green light, he'd likely see significant minutes for the shorthanded Grizzlies.

Out for Friday Jackson (knee) will not play in Friday's game versus Orlando.

Impact Jackson was carrying a questionable tag before the Grizzlies ruled him out, so that likely means that he's day-to-day. The Grizzlies have been erring on the side of caution with their players in recent weeks. With Jackson out, guys like Lamar Stevens, John Konchar and Jake LaRavia could be asked to step up.

Questionable Friday Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the hawks due to left knee soreness.

Impact Jackson's status will presumably depend on how his knee is feeling closer to tipoff. If he is ultimately unable to go, Lamar Stevens, John Konchar and Jake LaRavia are candidates to see increased run at forward.

Poor shooting display Saturday Jackson amassed 17 points (4-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Jackson might have ended with a decent stat line, but he earned nearly half his points from the charity stripe following a dismal shooting effort. Jackson has been remarkably consistent as a scorer in recent weeks, even if he's prone to deliver some inefficient performances, and the numbers back that up. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last 10 appearances off the bench, averaging 16.5 points per game and shooting 45.2 percent from the field in that span.

Available to play Jackson (quadriceps) is available for Friday's game versus Portland.

On track to play Friday Coach Taylor Jenkins said Jackson (quadriceps) will likely play Friday against Portland, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

Since Jan. 13, Jackson has appeared in 20 of 21 games (one start), averaging 13.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game during that stretch.

Check back for another update on Jackson following Friday's shootaround.

Impact Jackson tied his career-best scoring output Thursday despite coming off the bench, and the rookie out of South Carolina continues to make an impact for a depleted Grizzlies team. He's going through his most productive stretch of the campaign and has scored in double digits in six straight appearances, averaging 20.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in that stretch. Plus, it's worth noting each of his last five outings in that span have seen him come off the bench, so he's performing at a high level regardless of his role.

Impact The 19-year-old rookie returned from a one-game disciplinary suspension by the Grizzlies and just missed recording his first career double-double while leading all scorers on the night and swatting away a career-high three blocks. Jackson has scored in double digits in eight of his last nine games, averaging 15.3 points, 5.2 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.2 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch as the 2023 second-round pick carves out a significant role in the Memphis frontcourt.

Impact With the Grizzlies having only eight active players, Jackson drew his first career start versus Boston.
