Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable for Grizzlies’ Game Against Rockets with Thigh Soreness
Jaren Jackson Jr., power forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, is dealing with left thigh soreness. His status is questionable for the upcoming game against the Houston Rockets on January 9th, 2025. The injury was first noted on January 8th, and it remains uncertain if he will be able to play.
What It Means
If Jaren Jackson Jr. misses the game, it could impact the team’s performance. He has been averaging 22.7 points per game this season and plays a key role in the team’s offense and defense. His shooting accuracy stands at 49.4% from the field and 34.8% from beyond the arc.
The Grizzlies may need to rely more on other players like Santi Aldama or Brandon Clarke if Jackson Jr. sits out. Aldama averages 13 points per game while Clarke adds another 7.4 points per game off the bench. The team will need to adjust their strategy if they are without one of their top scorers.
