One of the standouts of Memphis, Jaren Jackson Jr., will not be able to finish the season on the court.
The Memphis Grizzlies today provided the following medical update:
In Monday’s game against the Pelicans, Jaren Jackson Jr. experienced an unstable landing after making contact with an opposing player while contesting a shot. Subsequent medical evaluation revealed a meniscus tear in his left knee, which will cause him to miss the remainder of the season. He is expected to make a full recovery.
The Grizzlies are still eighth in the West and the chances of missing at least the ninth spot and the play-in games for the playoffs are slim.
Still, without Jackson in the paint, things are not looking good for them.
