Key Takeaways:
Grizzlies rookie GG Jackson II will miss the start of the season following foot surgery.
Jackson suffered a Jones fracture-a common injury to NBA players.
The Grizzlies’ frontcourt will be thin to start the season without Jackson.
In the absence of good news, the Memphis Grizzlies have received another injury hit in the form of their rookie GG Jackson II missing the beginning of the season due to surgery on his foot. An already depleted side was how the team went into last season, which was quite disastrous in terms of injuries.
Jackson Injury
Jackson broke his fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot playing pickup early in the week. It’s a Jones fracture: a break in the bone that connects the little toe with the base of the foot. A Jones fracture will not heal in 4 to 6 weeks, depending on how badly broken it was and which surgical procedure is utilized to repair the break.
Impact on the Grizzlies
Jackson will be missed so much deeper along that front line. They were looking forward to already starting center rookie Zach Edey and Jaren Jackson Jr. at the four, with Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama spelled there off the bench. Jackson was going to be part of that mix.
The Grizzlies are again having an injury issue, as reported about the injury of GG Jackson II. The remaining frontcourt players must shoulder their responsibilities if he cannot play. As he recovers from the surgery, the Grizzlies wait for his coming back.
