Grizzlies’ Jackson Jr. Injured After Signing Extension

News summary

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. is set to undergo surgery for a turf toe injury suffered during an offsite basketball run, just one day after agreeing to a five-year, $240 million contract extension, the largest in team history. The team expects Jackson to make a full recovery, with a timeline for his return to be announced following the procedure. The 25-year-old, a two-time All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year, averaged 22.2 points and 5.6 rebounds last season. Jackson's injury compounds the Grizzlies’ ongoing injury challenges, with teammates Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke also sidelined this offseason. Memphis has traded Desmond Bane, re-signed Santi Aldama, and added Ty Jerome to bolster the roster. The franchise remains focused on building around Jackson and Ja Morant as its core players.
