GG Jackson Latest News
Return timeline remains fluid
Jackson (foot) said Tuesday on FanDuel's Run It Back show that he's targeting a return around mid-January. Jackson said he's trying to push himself to get back by late December, but the medical staff is being cautious, so realistically, he'll likely return to game action sometime in January. After a breakout rookie season for the injury-riddled Grizzlies, the second-round pick had high expectations for Year 2. However, he broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot during a summer workout, underwent surgery at the beginning of September and was ruled out for at least three months. When healthy, Jackson's role will presumably be smaller than he had last year, as Memphis' roster is much healthier, but he should still be able to carve out a reserve role.
Out at least three months
Jackson underwent a successful procedure to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot Wednesday and will be evaluated in approximately three months. Jackson will miss at least the first month of the season while rehabbing from the procedure but is expected to make a full recovery. However, when healthy, his role remains unclear. As a rookie, the second-round pick carved out a substantial role for the injury-riddled Grizzlies. Over his final 18 regular-season appearances, Jackson averaged 20.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 34.1 minutes per game. With Ja Morant (shoulder), Marcus Smart (finger) and Desmond Bane (back) returning to full strength this offseason, Jackson will have a difficult time repeating those numbers in Year 2.
Suffers broken foot
Jackson broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot earlier this week and will undergo surgery Sept. 4. 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 Dallas on Aug. 27 when he had an unstable landing on his right foot. A timetable for recovery has not been provided, but it wouldn't be surprising 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. 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 in Las Vegas. 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 (3-7 3Pt) and made 1-of-2 free throws for 18 points, eight rebounds, two assists, three triples and three steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's Summer League loss to the Thunder. While most of Jackson's stat line was great, his six turnovers were less than stellar. Jackson posted some solid stat lines last season while logging big minutes for a team that was missing most of its 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. Jackson led Memphis in scoring while putting up an efficient 7-for-13 line from beyond the arc. The seven triples tied his career-high mark, which he initially established March 20 against the Warriors. As has typically been the case for Jackson, his scoring came with little production as a rebounder or distributor, though he did tie his career-best total with three thefts in Friday's defeat.
Scores 15 points vs. Detroit
Jackson ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 108-90 win over Detroit. Jackson has been on a very productive stretch in recent weeks, and he's taking advantage of the Grizzlies' rebuild approach to see extended minutes in the final weeks of the season. He's now scored in double digits in 11 straight starts, averaging 17.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest.
Posts double-double Wednesday
Jackson recorded 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 win over the Bucks. Jackson has been playing extremely well since being promoted to a starting role, scoring in double digits in each of his 10 consecutive starts while posting solid numbers overall. This was his first double-double in that span, but the rookie out of South Carolina has averaged 17.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in that stretch.
