Powers Memphis to win
Jackson produced 30 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Monday's 137-128 victory over the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Jackson returned from a bruised left quadriceps Monday following a one-game absence and didn't waste any time getting into a groove. He went perfect from the charity stripe and showed improvement from beyond the arc after going just 2-for-10 from three in his most recent appearance Thursday against the Pelicans. This marks Jackson's fourth time reaching the 30-point threshold in 45 appearances this season.

Gets green light Monday
Jackson (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Jackson was upgraded to probable earlier in the day, and he's since gained clearance to run the floor Monday night after missing Saturday's clash, also against Minnesota. Vince Williams should slot back into a bench role due to Jackson's return.

Upgraded to probable
Jackson (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Jackson appears likely to return to action Monday after missing Saturday's loss to Minnesota. If the 26-year-old big man is cleared to play, there would be fewer minutes available for the likes of GG Jackson, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Vince Williams. Over his last five outings, Jackson has averaged 20.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.6 blocks in 32.6 minutes per contest.

Questionable for Monday
Jackson (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Jackson could miss a second straight game due to a left quadricep contusion. If he is unable to go, Jock Landale would likely see an expanded role.

Officially out Saturday
Jackson (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Jackson was previously listed as doubtful, and the Grizzlies will proceed with caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, the Grizzlies may lean heavily on guys like GG Jackson, Vince Williams and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Doubtful Saturday
Jackson is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Analysis
The quad injury is a new concern for Jackson, who is not expected to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. John Konchar (neck) is doubtful and Santi Aldama (knee) is out, so the Grizzlies are likely to be extremely shorthanded in the frontcourt. GG Jackson, Vince Williams and Olivier-Maxence Prosper would be candidates for increased playing time if Jackson and Konchar are ultimately ruled out.

Rips away season-high six steals
Jackson chipped in 16 points (6-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and six steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 114-106 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis
While Jackson didn't have his best offensive outing, he was locked in on defense and notched a new season high in steals. After a slow start to the season, Jackson has been rolling since the calendar turned to 2026, flirting with top-30 value behind averages of 20.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.8 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.5 swats per contest.

Strong effort in loss
Jackson closed Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets with 26 points (10-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 33 minutes.
Analysis
Jackson was a bright spot for the Grizzlies, posting his eighth game of the campaign with at least 26 points. This season, Jackson has been underwhelming compared to past years with averages of 19.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.7 three-pointers on 47.9 percent shooting from the field.
