Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

The Grizzlies announced on Wednesday that GG Jackson (broken fifth metatarsal, right foot) will be re-evaluated in three months after undergoing surgery.

Jackson injured his foot while playing basketball on August 27. According to the Grizzlies, the surgical procedure was successful, and Jackson will be re-evaluated in three months. Any fantasy managers hopeful of deriving late-round value from GG must pivot; Vince Williams Jr. was a better option even before the injury. Due to the likely ramp-up time needed before he’s fully cleared to return, Jackson may not offer much to managers in redraft leagues this season.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

According to the Grizzlies, GG Jackson suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot while playing basketball on August 27 and will undergo surgery next week.

Unfortunately, the Grizzlies’ bad luck with injuries has not dissipated. Jackson, one of the few bright spots during an injury-riddled 2023-24 season for the franchise, reportedly broke his foot while playing basketball just outside of Dallas on August. 27. The Grizzlies announced that he’ll undergo surgery next week, and it’s unknown how much time he’ll miss. Jackson faced a problematic climb to fantasy relevance as part of a complete Grizzlies rotation, and the foot injury doesn’t help matters. Depending on what the doctors say post-surgery, there may not be a need to consider drafting GG in most fantasy leagues.
Luke Kennard

MEM Shooting Guard #10

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Kennard is signing a one-year, $11 million deal with Memphis.

Kennard was one of the many Grizzlies who dealt with injury problems last season. The sharpshooter averaged 11.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting 45% from deep in 39 games in 2023-24. His long-range shooting efficiency has made him one of the league’s top three-point specialists in recent years and he can easily help fantasy teams in that area with a healthy season.
Santi Aldama

MEM Power Forward #7

Santi Aldama amassed 19 points (6-of-14 FGs) with 12 rebounds, three blocks, and three 3-pointers to lead Spain to an 84-77 win against Greece.

Aldama has easily been Spain’s best player so far. The Memphis Grizzlies forward has been aggressively looking for his shot and crashed the board in his second group play outing. He’ll likely continue to lead Spain’s scoring charge.
Ja Morant

MEM Point Guard #12

Ja Morant (right shoulder surgery) said during a recent appearance that he’s a full go physically but is building his endurance in advance of the upcoming season.

Morant’s 2023-24 season was disappointing, as he played just nine games after returning from a 25-game suspension. The Grizzlies star underwent surgery to repair a labral tear in his shoulder in January, and in early July, he was fully cleared to resume on-court activities. As for where he is right now, Morant said he’s about 75%, with the focus now being on his endurance. While disappointing as a fantasy option during the 2022-23 season, ranking just inside the top 100 in 9-cat formats, Morant should be a top 50 player, provided he keeps the turnovers in check.
Santi Aldama

MEM Power Forward #7

Santi Aldama led Spain with 27 points (6-of-12 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, two steals and six 3-pointers in a 92-80 loss to Australia on Saturday.

Aldama is one of a few NBA players on Spain’s roster, and he was by far their best offensive weapon in this game. He did all of his work from behind the 3-point line and at the free throw line, and while it wasn’t enough for them to get a win, it was an impressive performance. Aldama will continue to be an integral part of Spain’s offense, and he will be a valuable role player for Memphis once again next season.
Jay Huff

MEM Center #30

The Grizzlies announced on Wednesday that they have signed Jay Huff to a two-way contract.

The 7-foot-1 Huff is on the move after spending last season with the Nuggets on a two-way contract. He’s appeared in 31 NBA games for the Nuggets, Wizards, and Lakers, with the majority of his minutes coming in the G League. Huff’s addition will not impact fantasy basketball, as the Grizzlies have Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke among their frontcourt options. To make room for Huff, the Grizzlies waived Trey Jemison.
Scotty Pippen Jr.

MEM Point Guard #1

Scotty Pippen Jr. shot 9-of-24 from the field and 10-of-13 from the foul line in Monday’s 120-118 overtime loss to Miami, scoring 29 points with five rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes.

Some believed Pippen deserved to be named MVP of the NBA 2K25 Summer League, especially since the winner (Brooklyn’s Jalen Wilson) was a second-team selection while the Grizzlies point guard made the first team. Pippen was outstanding throughout Memphis’ time in Las Vegas, but the question is what this will do for his chances of winning the backup point guard job. Derrick Rose remains on the roster, but his injury history may leave the door ajar for Pippen. Regardless of who wins the job, backing up Ja Morant doesn’t do much for one’s fantasy value. However, given Pippen’s fight to stick in the NBA, having the opportunity represents a step in the right direction.
Gregory Jackson

MEM Small Forward #45

GG Jackson accumulated 28 points (11-of-16 FGs, 3-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 37 minutes in Monday’s 120-118 loss to the Heat.

Jackson did not leave Las Vegas with the NBA 2K25 Summer League title, but Monday’s title game defeat capped a very encouraging summer for him. The 2023 second-round pick did more than just score, making strides as a facilitator while consistently taking on challenging defensive matchups. With a healthy Grizzlies roster, Jackson must provide value off the bench. He took significant steps in the right direction this month, which should only benefit GG and the Grizzlies moving forward. His fantasy value will take a hit with Memphis at full strength, but Jackson will be worth a roll of the dice as a late-round pick.
Jake LaRavia

MEM Small Forward #3

Jake LaRavia amassed 32 points (11-of-21 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers in 35 minutes in Monday’s 120-118 overtime loss to the Heat.

LaRavia produced one of the best individual performances of the NBA 2K25 Summer League in Monday’s title game, but it wasn’t enough to get Memphis the victory. Overall, he had a good summer, putting up quality numbers as one of the summer Grizzlies’ primary scoring options. The biggest issue for LaRavia in his first two seasons has been availability, as he’s played 70 NBA games. If the 2022 first-round pick can remain healthy, he can be a solid contributor off the bench.
