GG Jackson Enters Year Three Healthy, Grizzlies Await 2026-27 Opener
newsroom · 10 min agoGG Jackson heads into his third NBA season with Memphis off a 2025-26 campaign where he averaged 12.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 55 games. He is not on the injury report. The Grizzlies have not opened the 2026-27 season yet.
The Profile
GG Jackson wears No. 45 for the Memphis Grizzlies. He's a 6-9, 210-pound forward out of South Carolina, now 21 years old and entering his third NBA season. Jackson has spent his career with Memphis, and the roster for 2026-27 keeps him in that frontcourt mix. He's not a rookie anymore, but he's also not yet at the stage where a team leans on him as a primary option every night. The size at his position gives him range on both ends of the floor, and Memphis will look for him to keep building on the role he carved out over his first two years in the league.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, Jackson appeared in 55 games for Memphis, averaging 21.4 minutes a night. He put up 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. His turnover rate stayed low at 1.5 per game. Those are the numbers of a rotation forward who saw real minutes but not a full workload — 55 games is not a full 82-game slate, and 21.4 minutes is a bench-to-fringe-starter role. Memphis used him as a scoring option off the bench or in a shared frontcourt spot, and the counting stats reflect a player still growing into more responsibility.
Efficiency and Shot Profile
Jackson shot 49.6% from the field last season, 33.2% from three, and 74.2% from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage came in at 59.1%, a solid mark for a forward who also handled a 23.0% usage rate — meaning a good chunk of Memphis's offense ran through him when he was on the floor. The three-point number is the one worth watching: 33.2% is a respectable but not elite clip for a forward taking outside shots. His overall plus-minus for the season was -1.5, a modest net mark that came within Memphis's rotation math last year rather than as a lead option.
Health Report
GG Jackson is not on the injury report heading into the 2026-27 season. There is no injury history listed for him. That's a clean bill of health as Memphis prepares for the year, and it means Jackson should be available for the start of the schedule barring anything that develops closer to the opener. A full runway to open the season matters for a player still building consistency in his role, and right now there's nothing on record standing in the way of that.
Looking Ahead
The Grizzlies have not yet opened the 2026-27 season, so there's no in-season form to point to for Jackson yet. What's on the table is last season's per-game production — 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists in 21.4 minutes across 55 games — as the baseline Memphis will build from. With a clean injury report and a third NBA season under his belt, the opener is the next real data point for where his role stands in 2026-27.
