Wednesday morning (7/2) the Memphis Grizzlies updated the status of Jaren Jackson Jr.
Jason Smith discussed the Jackson injury and the latest update on Wednesday's Jason & John Show on 92.9 FM ESPN.
AUDIO:
Jaren Jackson Jr. underwent successful surgery to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot, sustained during an off‑site live basketball drill—just one day after signing a five‑year, $240 million extension with Memphis. The Grizzlies anticipate a full recovery and expect to re‑evaluate him in roughly 12 weeks.
Jackson, a two‑time All‑Star and 2022‑23 Defensive Player of the Year, remains a franchise cornerstone. Turf‑toe surgeries can sideline athletes for several months, while the team release shows optimism.
