Jaren Jackson Jr. Questionable For Monday's Action

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Sixers.

Jaylen Brown Cleared For Action

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) will return from a five-game absence on Monday against Milwaukee.
