Jaren Jackson Jr., the Memphis Grizzlies' standout player, has suffered a turf toe injury that will require a minor surgical procedure. This unfortunate news came just a day after Jackson signed a lucrative five-year, $240 million max contract extension with the franchise. The Grizzlies announced that Jackson sustained the injury during a basketball run outside of the team facility and will need time to recover.

While the exact timeline for his return remains unclear, Jackson is expected to fully recover before the start of the 2025-26 season, giving him several months to rehabilitate. Last season, he averaged 22.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, earning his second All-Star selection. This injury could raise concerns for fantasy teams that rely heavily on his performance.
