Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Dealing with low-grade strain
Jackson (hamstring) is dealing with a low-grade hamstring strain, and there is "no concern" that Jackson could miss Memphis' season opener versus Utah on Oct. 23, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Fears of Jackson dealing with a hamstring strain have been confirmed, but suffering a low level of severity bodes well for the 25-year-old. Coach Taylor Jenkins fully expects Jackson to be ready for Opening Night, while also noting that the Grizzlies will proceed cautiously with his activity throughout the remainder of training camp.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Dealing with hamstring tightness
Jackson experienced hamstring tightness during Tuesday's practice, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Jackson will undergo imaging to determine the severity, but coach Taylor Jenkins said the team is "anticipating a strain," per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. If that's the case, Jackson will likely miss the preseason and could be sidelined to start the 2024-25 campaign.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Confirmed out for Sunday
Jackson (quadriceps) won't play Sunday against the Nuggets, as expected.
Memphis' playoff hopes were over several weeks ago, so the Grizzlies essentially shut down most of their roster. Jackson ended up making 66 appearances this season, posting averages of 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers while shooting 44.4 percent from the field, 32.0 percent from beyond the arc and 80.8 percent from the line.

Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson: Unlikely to return in 2023-24
Head coach Taylor Jenkins said Tuesday that there is a "good chance" Jackson (quadricep) won't play again this season, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
With Memphis already being eliminated from the playoffs and Jackson having already played in 65 games to qualify for an All-NBA team, it's not surprising that the team is leaning toward shutting him down for the campaign. The 24-year-old will miss a third consecutive game Tuesday with right quad tendinitis, but the injury isn't anything that should affect his training during the offseason. Assuming he doesn't make any appearances in Memphis' final three games, the big man will end the 2023-24 campaign having averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 steals in 32.2 minutes across 66 appearances. While Jackson's blocks per game decreased from 3.0 that he posted last season en route to Defensive Player of the Year honors, his 22.5 points per game were a career-high mark.
