Jaren Jackson Jr. Doubtful Against Hornets
2 months agoThe Memphis Grizzlies have listed center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) as doubtful for Wednesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. Right quad tendonitis cost Jackson three games from March 1 to March 4, and the big man is expected to sit out his second straight matchup and the second leg of Memphis' back-to-back with the issue after missing Tuesday's home victory over the Washington Wizards. The 23-43 Grizzlies have little incentive at this stage of the season to rush back the reigning Defensive Player of the Year ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Should Santi Aldama (elbow) join Jackson on the sidelines, third-stringer Trey Jemison would be the last traditional big man standing and likely dominate center minutes after racking up a career-high 24 points against Washington.
