Memphis forward GG Jackson was ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Nets with a left foot injury. The injury report lists Nov. 16 as his expected return, and the Grizzlies have no record to lean on without him beyond one loss.
What happened
Jackson was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Nets, according to the official injury report posted at 9:00 PM ET on Nov. 14. The report lists the injury as a left foot issue and carries the comment that Jackson (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of the game. The Grizzlies had listed him with no earlier status for this game, so the change came during play. The report gives an expected return date of Nov. 16. Jackson is 21. His last entry on the report before this one was a Day-To-Day tag for an ankle issue on Oct. 16, and he was cleared on Oct. 20.
What it means for the Grizzlies
Memphis entered the night 8-4, sixth in the standings, on a one-game winning streak. Jackson has played 11 games and averages 16.1 minutes, 7.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists. The Grizzlies are 8-3 with him and 0-1 without him, a one-game sample. In games he missed, the minutes went to Cameron Boozer (31.7), Ty Jerome (30.5), Cedric Coward (28.4), Jaylen Wells (27.2) and Jerami Grant (23.8), with Zach Edey, Cam Spencer and Javon Small next. Jerome, Grant and Edey are all listed Out on the current report, along with Scotty Pippen Jr., Richie Saunders and Quinten Post. That leaves Boozer, Coward, Wells, Spencer and Small as the available names from that group.
What to watch
The next injury report is the place to check whether Jackson's status changes. The report lists Nov. 16 as his expected return date, and no further timeline or diagnosis has been announced. Memphis is also short on healthy depth, with six teammates listed Out. Watch whether any of Jerome, Grant or Edey return, since that decides how much of Jackson's role falls to Boozer, Coward and Wells. Jackson's next game status is not announced.
