Jaren Jackson Jr. injury status against the Nuggets
Right now it’s Jackson listed as suspicious to face the Nuggets with a sprained right ankle, according to the NBA’s official injury report for Monday’s games. Jackson has missed the Grizzlies’ last two road games with the same injury, and is now in danger of missing his third straight contest.
In 15 games played so far this season, Jackson is averaging 17.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.
However, Memphis has managed to survive the two games it has played without Jackson so far. The Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento Kings 137-96 at home last Thursday, before defeating Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks 102-96 on the road on Saturday.
Without Jackson, Memphis started Santi Aldama in his place, and rightly so they work like magic for the Grizzlies until now. Aldama has totaled 49 points in the last two games in Memphis while shooting 43.8 percent from beyond the arc and 57.1 percent from the floor.
So when it comes to the question of whether Jaren Jackson Jr. game tonight against the Nuggets, the answer could come just before tipoff.
