Jaren Jackson Jr. is inching closer to making his return for the Memphis Grizzlies, as he has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Damichael Cole of Memphis Commercial Appeal.
This marks a significant step forward in Jackson’s recovery, as he has been sidelined on a week-to-week basis due to an ankle sprain.
Despite the big man’s absence, the Grizzlies have managed to hold their own, posting an impressive 4-1 record without their star center. However, his return will provide a major boost for a team with championship aspirations.
As one of Memphis’ key defensive anchors and offensive contributors, Jackson’s presence will be crucial as the team looks to solidify its position in the postseason race.
Jackson Jr. has played 7 seasons for the Grizzlies. He has averaged 18.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in 392 regular-season games.
