Due to a regulation infraction, rookie GG Jackson of the dillimissed the team’s most recent game.
This news was released soon before kickoff, but Jackson appears to be out for just one game. Jackson is not mentioned on the Grizzlies’ injury report for their game against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, so he should be able to play.
It’s important to note that Jackson was ruled out because of the infraction but was not listed on the injury report against new Orleans It appears likely that the decision to hold him out was made the day before the original injury report was made public.
Jackson, the NBA’s youngest player, is still getting to know the game both on and off the court. Jackson secured a guaranteed contract that will keep him in Memphis for the upcoming few seasons by playing well in his minutes this season.
Jackson has performed exceptionally well for the Grizzlies this season, which is why they decided to offer him a regular contract. The Grizzlies have had a terribly disappointing season, but one bright side is the development of guys like Jackson, who might help the team as soon as next season when Ja Morant and others return to the lineup.
