Jackson Scores 15 Points vs. Nets
Jaren Jackson Jr. shot 2-of-12 from the field and 10-of-13 from the foul line in Monday’s 111-86 loss to the Nets, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.
Jackson had a brutal night inside of the arc, as he made just one of his 10 attempts. The point total was boosted by JJJ making ten free throws, and he also recorded a full stat line, so all wasn’t lost on Monday. This season has left much to be desired, despite Jackson being a 5th-round player in 8- and 9-cat formats. The injury-related absences and Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension to begin the season haven’t done any of the Grizzlies any favors, especially Jackson.
Anderson Does Not Return after Injury
Kyle Anderson (left hamstring soreness) will not return to Tuesday’s matchup with the Spurs. Slo Mo has started their last two games, with Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns each missing one. However, with Anderson joining Towns on the sidelines for this game, Naz Reid should see some extra minutes down the stretch. If Anderson remains out past this game, Reid should continue to see a larger role off the bench.
