Grizzlies' GG Jackson to Undergo Surgery for Broken Foot

Memphis forward GG Jackson II suffers a broken fifth metatarsal during offseason play, sidelining him for the start of the 2024-25 NBA season.

Jackson broke his right foot while playing basketball outside Dallas, landing awkwardly after a contested layup.
The injury will require surgery, scheduled for September 4, with a recovery timeline update to follow.
Jackson, a 2023 second-round pick, averaged 14.6 points and earned All-Rookie Second Team honors last season.
The Grizzlies struggled last season due to multiple key player injuries, finishing with a 27-55 record.
Jackson's absence adds to the challenges for Memphis as they aim to return to postseason contention.
