Memphis first announced Jackson’s injury on Aug. 30. He hurt his foot on a layup playing basketball in Texas.
Jackson was Memphis’ second-round pick in the 2023 NBA draft. In 48 games, including 18 starts, he averaged 14.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Jackson earned second-team NBA All-Rookie honors and was a bright spot in an injury-plagued season for the Grizzlies, who finished 27-55.
The Grizzlies currently are 14-8 and went into Wednesday night’s games fourth in the Western Conference.
