Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jackson will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle, and his next opportunity to suit up will come Monday against the Nuggets. With the 26-year-old sidelined, Santi Aldama, John Konchar and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates for increased playing time.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Doubtful for Saturday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against Dallas.
A sprained ankle is likely to cost Jackson a second contest in a row. With the star big man not expected to play Saturday, Santi Aldama should draw the start at power forward. More playing time is likely to be available for the versatile Vince Williams as well.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Officially out
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Kings, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Jackson was initially added to the injury as doubtful with a right ankle sprain, and the team has since downgraded him to out. His absence should allow for Santi Aldama and John Konchar to see an increase in chances Thursday night. Jackson has had a rough start to the season, posting his lowest per-game numbers in points, rebounds, steals and blocks since 2022-23.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Not expected to play Thursday
Rotowire
Jackson is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Kings due to a sprained right ankle.
Jackson presumably picked up the injury during Tuesday's loss to San Antonio. Assuming the star big man is ultimately ruled out, his next chance to return would be Saturday in Dallas. Santi Aldama figures to jump into the starting lineup at power forward Thursday, while John Konchar is likely to see an uptick in playing time off the bench.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Puts up 18 in loss
Rotowire
Jackson totaled 18 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 111-101 loss to the Spurs.
Jackson did not shoot well from the field and failed to reach the free-throw line for the first time all season, but he was still able to put up 18 points. With Ja Morant (calf) out for two weeks, Jackson will be involved a lot more offensively and needs to be more efficient with the ball if he wants to help Memphis win games.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Season-high 26 points
Rotowire
Jackson provided 26 points (6-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 12-14 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Saturday's 108-100 loss to Cleveland.
Jackson tallied a season-high 26 points, despite shooting a woeful 26.1 percent from the floor. With Ja Morant exiting the game during the first quarter due to a calf injury, Jackson was saddled with more responsibility on the offensive end. While his defensive numbers have been somewhat underwhelming, he could be in for a short-term scoring bump should Morant be forced to miss additional time.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Struggles with foul trouble in loss
Rotowire
Jackson produced 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-95 loss to Boston.
Foul trouble has been a major issue for Jackson this season, and Wednesday was no different, as he racked up up three fouls in his first 12 minutes of play and finished with five. He's averaging a career-high 4.2 fouls through the first 13 games of the season, and that's been impacting Jackson's playing time, as he's currently averaging just 28.8 minutes per game.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Scores 17 points Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson finished with 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 loss to Oklahoma City.
Jackson didn't have his best shooting performance, but the big man still posted a solid stat line due to his contributions in peripheral stats. This was the third time he posted multiple blocks in his last four games, and Jackson will continue to be valuable in fantasy as long as he keeps doing three simple things: score as the Grizzlies' second option behind Ja Morant, block shots and crash the glass. Over that four-game stretch, Jackson is averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per contest.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Efficient in win Friday
Rotowire
Jackson registered 17 points (6-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and four rebounds over 29 minutes during Friday's 118-104 win over the Mavericks.
Jackson delivered a bounce-back performance Friday after putting up a season-low nine points in a loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. Jackson has been consistent as a reliable offensive weapon for the Grizzlies and has reached the 15-point mark in all but one game this season. He has the potential to score at an even higher rate if needed, but at least, he's delivering a solid floor every time he steps on the hardwood.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Nets 21 points with two blocks
Rotowire
Jackson closed Monday's 114-106 loss to the Pistons with 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 31 minutes.
Jackson hadn't collected any defensive stats in his previous two outings, but he snapped the defensive donut streak early in this game, stuffing Jalen Duren at the rim. He's never going to be a good rebounder, but he'll score efficiently while chipping in some triples and defensive stats, which gives him a top-50 floor.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: First 20-point effort this year
Rotowire
Jackson accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes during Sunday's 117-104 loss to the Raptors.
Jackson had the role of Memphis' primary scoring option in the absence of Ja Morant (suspension), and he responded by registering a season high in points. Jackson has been a steady producer so far, hitting the 15-point threshold in each of his first seven outings. The star big man has averaged 17.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 blocks in 28.3 minutes per game, shooting 52.9 percent from the floor.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Posts 18 points in narrow loss
Rotowire
Jackson registered 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 victory over Phoenix.
Although Jackson is providing steady production so far, he's yet to surpass 19 points this season, which is a significant regression from his usual career numbers. Jackson's recent toe injury shortened his window of preparation in the preseason, so it may only be a matter of logging more time on the court to get him back on track.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Another steady outing
Rotowire
Jackson ended Monday's 131-118 loss to the Warriors with 16 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes.
After signing a four-year, $163 million extension with the Grizzlies in July, Jackson hasn't yet stepped up with a ceiling game in 2025-26. He's scored between 16 and 19 points in all four games so far, and his usage and shot volume have fallen while a healthy Ja Morant dominates the Memphis offense. Jackson appears to be getting eased back into action after offseason toe surgery, so more impressive numbers should be coming, but for the moment, he isn't earning his big payday. Through those four contests, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 17.5 points, 5.0 boards, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 threes in just 25.5 minutes a game.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Chips in 17 points in win
Rotowire
Jackson supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 win over the Pacers.
Memphis held a 103-84 lead going into the fourth quarter, meaning Jackson earned a good amount of rest over the final quarter in their 25-point victory. Jackson has scored at least 17 points while playing between 21 and 27 minutes in each of the Grizzlies' first three contests. His next chance to reach those numbers will come Monday night in The Bay versus the Warriors.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Drops team-high 19 points
Rotowire
Jackson had 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 146-114 loss to the Heat.
Jackson had himself a decent night, even though the Grizzlies were totally outplayed. Given the game was all but over by half-time, managers have to be thrilled with Jackson's numbers. Memphis will host Indiana on Saturday, hoping to put on a better display in front of its home fans.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Swats six shots in win
Rotowire
Jackson fouled out of Wednesday's 128-122 victory over the Pelicans after recording 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and six blocks in 27 minutes.
Considering he wasn't a lock to play Opening Night after a lengthy rehab from his turf toe surgery, Jackson's fantasy managers are likely ecstatic, especially those who drafted him when his status was still in the air. Jackson did foul out of this game, and that's been a theme throughout his career, but his shot-blocking upside is through the roof, and he's expected to take on a larger role in the offense with Desmond Bane now in Orlando.
Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Scores 17 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Jackson produced 17 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes of Wednesday's 145-116 preseason loss to the Hornets.
Jackson, who underwent surgery to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot in early July, returned at the front end of his projected timetable. There was some obvious rust Wednesday, but with Jackson now ready to play on Opening Night, his ADP is likely to see a late push in a positive direction.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Recovered from turf toe injury
Rotowire
Jackson (toe) will make his preseason debut in Wednesday's exhibition game against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
After undergoing surgery to repair a turf toe injury in his right foot in early July, Jackson is ahead of schedule in his recovery and is ready for game action Wednesday. The star big man will look to ramp up his playing time ahead of the Oct. 22 regular-season opener against the Pelicans. Jackson had initially been a question mark for Opening Night, so fantasy managers should be pleased to see he's already been cleared to suit up this fall.
