GG Jackson II will undergo surgery after breaking the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, an injury sustained while attempting a contested layup. The surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday. Despite being a second-round pick in the 2023 NBA draft, Jackson made a strong impact in his rookie season, averaging 14.6 points and 4.1 rebounds across 48 games, including 18 starts. He earned second-team all-rookie honors and was one of the few positives for the Grizzlies during a season marked by injuries, as the team finished with a 27-55 record.
