Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a low-level hamstring strain following an MRI. The former Defensive Player of the Year left the first practice of training camp after experiencing tightness in his hamstring. Head coach Taylor Jenkins described the MRI results as "good news," and emphasized there are "no concerns" about Jackson Jr. being ready for the regular-season opener. Jenkins also noted, "He's already responded well to treatment," and the team will work with the performance staff to determine his return-to-play timeline. Jackson Jr. will focus on recovery in the meantime.

According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hamstring) left Tuesday's practice after experiencing hamstring tightness. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins confirmed Jackson will get an MRI exam to learn the extent of the injury. "We're anticipating a strain," Jenkins said. If the 25-year-old misses significant time, it will be a big blow to Memphis, as he averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 32.3 minutes across 66 regular-season games last year.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) will not suit up for Friday's match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers due to a right quadriceps injury. He will miss his fifth consecutive game and will likely not play another minute this season, as the Grizzlies are out of playoff contention. Injuries are nothing new for Memphis this year, as they continue to rely on many inexperienced players. Their frontout remains thin as Brandon Clarke (hand) is also out for Friday's contest. Fantasy managers can expect Trey Jemison to handle a heavy workload once again, as he played 36 minutes last game.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as the team gears up to meet San Antonio on Tuesday. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is nursing a right quadriceps injury. Santi Aldama (foot) is also on the shelf, resulting in big minutes to the likes of Trey Jemison, Maozinha Pereira, and GG Jackson II. Brandon Clarke also benefits in the situation, although his minutes are closely monitored following his comeback from an Achilles tear. However, Clarke has been productive when on the court, tallying 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. Memphis' big men face a difficult challenge against Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This seems odd considering Jackson has been playing in basically every game since the middle of March. Possibly, the Grizzlies feel that it's time to give Jackson a rest day. Regardless, the absence of Jackson will open up significant playing time in the rotation. GG Jackson, Lamar Stevens, and Jake LaRavia figure to benefit the most with Jackson sidelined. Between the trio, Jackson is the best streaming option out of the reserves.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has been cleared to play after sitting out during Wednesday's game due to a right quad issue. Trey Jemison should shift back to the second unit with Jackson returning on Saturday. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Jackson back in their lineups for Saturday's slate.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) might be out for another game on Saturday against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year has already been unavailable for the past two games. Trey Jemison has picked up a pair of starts this week and should get another opportunity on Saturday if Jackson Jr. isn't ready to return. He's played well and is looking at a potential crush spot, as OKC has one of the lowest rebounding rates in the league.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. His status was uncertain coming into this game as he was listed as questionable on the injury report. Trey Jemison figures to see a boost in playing time with Jackson sidelined. He hasn't been a great fantasy asset, but the boost in playing time should make him worth a look in deep leagues.

The Memphis Grizzlies have listed center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) as doubtful for Wednesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Right quad tendonitis cost Jackson three games from March 1 to March 4, and the big man is expected to sit out his second straight matchup and the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back with the issue after missing Tuesday's home victory over the Washington Wizards. The 23-43 Grizzlies have little incentive at this stage of the season to rush back the reigning Defensive Player of the Year ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Should Santi Aldama (elbow) join Jackson on the sidelines, third-stringer Trey Jemison would be the last traditional big man standing and likely dominate center minutes after racking up a career-high 24 points against Washington.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) won't face the Wizards on Tuesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest with right quadriceps tendonitis. Jackson Jr. steps out of the lineup after playing in three consecutive games, and he will miss a very good opportunity to stuff the stat sheet, as Washington has been awful against opposing bigs throughout the campaign. Trey Jemison could slide back into the starting unit without Jackson, while there's also a possibility of the team giving an extended look to Wenyen Gabriel, who's on a 10-day contract. Santi Aldama should get some burn at the center position as well, and he's by far the best fantasy option.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been cleared to return to action against the 76ers on Wednesday. He'll get back to work after sitting out three games with a right quadriceps issue. Jackson Jr.'s return is set to push Trey Jemison back to the bench, where his fantasy value will be non-existent. Meanwhile, Jackson Jr. himself could be in for a feast, as Philadelphia remains without Joel Embiid (knee), and the visitors will likely have a tough time guarding the Grizzlies big man. In his last appearance, Jackson Jr. had an outstanding game against Minnesota's tough defense with a 33-point, 13-rebound double-double, and his overall productivity had been trending up before he got hurt.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. He's in danger of missing a fourth consecutive contest. Trey Jemison has made two starts during Jackson Jr.'s absence, while Santi Aldama and Lamar Stevens have also benefited. With Joel Embiid (knee) on the shelf for the 76ers, this could be a good matchup for the Grizzlies bigs. Memphis will also face a tired team after Philadelphia suffered a 112-107 road loss to Brooklyn on Tuesday.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Jackson will miss his third straight contest due to right quad tendonitis, and the injury is starting to become a concern for the star big man's shutdown risk as the 20-41 Grizzlies continue to fall out of the playoff picture. The 24-year-old two-time blocks champion hasn't been as good in nine-category fantasy leagues with so much usage on his plate, but over his last 21 appearances, he's averaging 25.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.7 combined steals and blocks. Wednesday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers is Jackson's next chance to play. Santi Aldama remains in line for heavy minutes, taking averages of 10.6 points, 5.8 boards, 2.9 dimes, and 2.0 threes over his last 16 showings into a tough matchup against a Nets team allowing the sixth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing power forwards.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) isn't expected to play on Monday in Brooklyn. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has missed the previous two games because of a quadriceps issue. It's unlikely the Grizzlies will rush him back, considering the team is a long shot to make the postseason. At any rate, until Jackson is back on the floor, Lamar Stevens could remain in the starting lineup. However, Stevens isn't a consistent scorer, making him hard to trust for fantasy purposes.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The stud forward will sit this game out while he continues to nurse his quad injury. The Grizzlies aren't competitive right now, so it's not shocking to see them being cautious with their star forward. Trey Jemison has been inactive lately with Jackson back in the mix. He could become a relevant player with the Grizzlies still fairly banged up heading into Friday's game.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jackson is back in action after sitting out the final game before the All-Star break. His return will shift Trey Jemison back to the bench on Friday. Jemison won't offer strong streaming appeal while behind Jackson in the rotation. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Jackson is in there.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quad) again popped up on the injury report with tendon soreness in his right quad but was tagged as probable on Friday. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year did not play in the team's last game right before the All-Star break, so the injury status for the first game back after almost 10 days off is a bit concerning. The good thing is that he's expected to play and for a team that has been through the injury gauntlet, at least they'll have one starter available. Jackson has been a top 60 fantasy asset in nine-category leagues and should remain in that are for the rest of the season as long as the Grizzlies don't decide to tank.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Thursday evening against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old was on the floor on Wednesday night versus the Houston Rockets. He finished with 18 points. However, Jackson got into foul trouble, limiting him to just 28 minutes of work. Nonetheless, Memphis is looking to get players healthy. The team also needs players to remain on the floor, so it's likely Jackson is just getting an extra night off to rest entering the All-Star break. As a result, GG Jackson II and Santi Aldama should get extra chances on the scoring end, especially with the Grizzlies' lengthy injury report.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) will go through his pregame routine with the intent of suiting up for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Jackson should make his return to the court after sitting out Tuesday's contest. His return should push Trey Jemison back to the bench. However, Jemison still has decent streaming value with the Grizzlies extremely shorthanded. Fantasy managers should double-check before tip-off to see if Jackson has been cleared to play.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, Jackson will sit out after being listed as doubtful heading into this game due to right hip soreness. The Grizzlies are extremely shorthanded right now. That means, Santi Aldama should see a significant role in the rotation. Also, GG Jackson, Tosan Evbuomwan, and Trey Jemison should be involved as well. Jackson is likely the best streaming option out of the bunch.
