Grizzlies Uplifted by Positive Injury News on Morant and Jackson
The Memphis Grizzlies are emerging from a tough preseason marked by injuries to key players, entering the regular season with an 0-3 record and a depleted lineup. Yet recent developments surrounding Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. have injected a dose of optimism into the team’s outlook.
Encouraging Signs in Recovery
Neither Morant nor Jackson has appeared in preseason action—Morant is recovering from a sprained left ankle, while Jackson is dealing with turf toe. Their absence has raised concerns among fans and staff, but head coach Tuomas Iisalo offered a hopeful update during a recent media briefing.
“Both guys are progressing very well and are able to do significantly more than they were a week ago,” Iisalo shared, signaling meaningful strides in their rehabilitation and raising hopes for an earlier-than-expected return.
Looking Ahead with Caution
Despite the promising progress, Iisalo tempered expectations about their immediate availability. “You would have to ask that to the medical team. I coach the players available,” he said, underscoring the importance of a measured approach to their comeback.
As the Grizzlies gear up for the regular season, the potential return of their star duo could be a major morale boost. Supporters will be watching closely, eager to see Morant and Jackson back on the court and leading the charge.
