Jaren Jackson Jr. has been diagnosed with a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson was limited to 10 minutes in Monday's 110-105 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies after Ty Jerome fell on his leg, resulting in a torn MCL. The good news is that he will not require surgery but is expected to miss at least six weeks. With Jackson sidelined, Svi Mykhailiuk, Brice Sensabaugh and Kyle Filipowski are all candidates to see increased playing time.
Jaren Jackson Jr. left Monday's game early against the Grizzlies with a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Jackson went to the locker room after his knee was banged up. He'll continue to be further evaluated.
Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3P, 1-2 FT) with five rebounds, two assists, and three stocks along with five turnovers in the Jazz's 123-103 loss to the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
It was a bit of an up-and-down game for the veteran forward. He made several plays on defense, but had more than enough turnovers. It could've been better, and he will look to improve his numbers against the Pelicans on Friday.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is likely to miss the rest of the regular season so he can undergo surgery on his left knee.
Fantasy Impact
It’s a tough blow for the Jazz fans, as they were just getting to see the potential of this team with JJJ on it. The team itself benefits from it, albeit a in a sort of twisted way, because they can now tank easier. Fantasy managers can choose to hold on, but given how things are for the Jazz, he’s likely done for the season and will be shut down.
Jackson paced Utah with 22 points in Monday's 115-111 win over the Heat. He shot 7-of-19 from the field and added five rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
Most of Jackson's production came early—he put up 17 points in the first half. Despite the strong start, he didn't see the floor during the closing lineup. Jackson's 7-of-19 shooting marked a less efficient night, though the multi-category contributions extended beyond scoring.
