The Grizzlies just secured their future… but it comes with a tough twist.
Jaren Jackson Jr. has signed a monster 5-year, $240M extension to stay in Memphis, locking in their franchise anchor for the long haul.
The timing was perfect. The vision was clear. But just as the deal becomes official, the team announces JJJ has suffered a turf toe injury in his right foot and will need a procedure to repair it 😬
A massive win for the Grizzlies’ future, but an immediate hurdle for their present.
According to Brian Windhorst, Jaren could be sidelined for 4–5 months and may likely miss the early part of the season. Prayers up for his recovery 🙏
