Expected to miss at least six weeks Jackson has been diagnosed with a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Impact Jackson sustained the injury early in Monday's loss to Memphis, and he's now expected to miss at least a month and a half of action. The star big man's absence creates a major void in the Utah lineup, one that is likely to be filled by a timeshare of Jaxson Hayes (shoulder), Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba. The Jazz could also shift Lauri Markkanen (wrist), when healthy, to the center spot at times, perhaps allowing Ace Bailey to spend more time at power forward.

Won't return Monday Jackson has been ruled out for the rest of Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right knee injury.

Impact An opposing player landed on Jackson's leg early in the second quarter, and after initially remaining in the game, he ultimately checked out and went to the locker room. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but he's been shut down for the rest of the evening. Lauri Markkanen (wrist) also left Monday's game in the first half and is questionable to return, potentially opening up minutes for Svi Mykailiuk, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabugh in the frontcourt.

Big double-double in comeback win Jackson ended with 24 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Friday's 120-119 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact The 24 points led the Jazz on the night, and Jackson was instrumental in the team's fourth-quarter comeback. The 27-year-old big has recorded multiple blocks in each of the first two games of the season, as he looks to average 2.0 rejections or better for the first time since 2022-23 with the Grizzlies.

Fouls out against Memphis Jackson provided 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 123-103 loss to the...

Impact Jackson delivered efficient scoring and a pair of blocks in his first game back in Memphis since being traded to Utah in February. However, the former Grizzlies star fouled out in the fourth quarter and committed five turnovers, limiting an otherwise productive performance. Jackson's defensive contributions and ability to stretch the floor remain valuable for fantasy managers, though foul trouble continues to be a concern.

Solid two-way production in win Jackson posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 21 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason win over the Suns.

Impact Jackson made the most of his 21 minutes in the preseason finale, finishing as Utah's second-best scorer behind Lauri Markkanen while adding two steals and two blocks on the defensive end. Jackson's ability to contribute points, blocks and steals remains central to his fantasy appeal, and his performance offered an encouraging conclusion to Utah's preseason schedule. He's set to play a massive role in the frontcourt as long as he stays healthy -- he's coming off a 2025-26 season in which he was limited to just 48 regular-season appearances.

Efficient in preseason win Jackson recorded 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Monday's 119-109 preseason win over the Spurs.

Impact Jackson was efficient offensively, finishing as one of seven Jazz players to score in double figures. The big man appeared in just three regular-season games with Utah last season due to a left knee issue after being acquired from Memphis at the trade deadline, but now healthy, he figures to be a focal point for the 2026-27 campaign.

Scores seven points Tuesday Jackson finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one block in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 117-106 preseason loss to Denver.

Impact Jackson showed well in limited action Tuesday. The star big man is being drafted around the fourth round in most fantasy leagues, and he's all set to be one of Utah's top scoring options in 2026-27 alongside Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George.

Impact Head coach Will Hardy said Tuesday that Jackson's familiarity with the roster doesn't change the fact that he's still early in the learning process after appearing in only three games for Utah last season. Hardy was encouraged by Jackson's communication during the Jazz's opening practice and highlighted the big man's versatility as something that gives the team several options. Developing chemistry with Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George should be a point of emphasis throughout training camp.
