MEMPHIS — GG Jackson II has what Memphis Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo described as a relatively serious left foot injury. The forward will undergo further testing after he left Saturday’s 129-110 win over the Brooklyn Nets in the first quarter.
Jackson played 2 minutes, 52 seconds before exiting, and his only shot of the night was a made 3-pointer. The Grizzlies announced during the game that he would not return because of a left foot injury.
Iisalo did not give a diagnosis when he updated Jackson’s status after the game.
“Unfortunately, it looks like a relatively serious foot injury, so that’s very, very sad for him,” Iisalo said.
“He was catching a good stride, and we obviously there will be some further testing, but so far it doesn’t look very good,” Iisalo said.
No Diagnosis Or Timetable Yet
The Grizzlies have not announced a diagnosis or a timetable for Jackson’s return.
Jackson had surgery in September 2024 to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, an injury he sustained while playing basketball in the Dallas area that offseason. Saturday’s injury is to his left foot.
Grizzlies Move To 9-4
Taylor Hendricks scored a career-high 22 points in 29 minutes in Saturday’s win, which moved Memphis to 9-4.
The Grizzlies play at the Washington Wizards on Monday at 6 p.m. CT.
