Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable for Grizzlies’ Game Against Rockets with Thigh Injury
Jaren Jackson Jr. is dealing with a thigh injury and his status is questionable for the Memphis Grizzlies’ upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on January 9th, 2025. The injury was first noted on January 8th, leaving uncertainty about his availability.
What It Means
If Jaren Jackson Jr. cannot play, it will be a setback for the Grizzlies. He has been averaging 22.7 points per game this season, making him a key player in their lineup. His shooting percentage stands at 49.4%, and he contributes significantly to both offense and defense.
The team might need to rely more on Santi Aldama or Brandon Clarke if Jackson Jr. is out. Aldama averages 13 points per game while Clarke adds 7.4 points per game, but neither can fully replace Jackson’s impact on the court.
