Memphis Grizzlies All-Star Jaren Jackson Jr. has undergone surgery for a turf toe injury and will be re-evaluated in about 12 weeks, the team confirmed on Wednesday.
Jaren Jackson Jr injured his right foot during offseason workouts. The Grizzlies expect a full recovery for the 25-year-old forward.
The 6-foot-10 big man averaged 22.2 points and 5.6 rebounds last season and earned his second All-Star selection. He was named the NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year in 2022-23 after leading the league in blocks.
Jackson recently agreed to a five-year, $240-million extension as Memphis looks to build around him and Ja Morant. The Grizzlies were swept in the first round of the playoffs by eventual champions Oklahoma City.
