US EditionGrizzlies Star Jaren Jackson Jr. Hurt During 'Live Basketball Run,' Needs Surgery After Inking $240M Extension
- On July 1, 2025, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. suffered a right foot turf toe injury during an offsite live basketball run and will undergo a surgical procedure.
- The injury news followed Jackson's signing of a five-year, $240 million contract extension with Memphis just one day earlier, confirming his long-term role with the team.
- At 25 years old, Jackson appeared in 74 games last season—the second-highest total of his career—while posting averages of just over 22 points, nearly six rebounds, and around one and a half blocks per game.
- The Memphis Grizzlies confirmed the surgery decision on July 2 and stated that a recovery timeline will be provided after the procedure, with Jackson expected to fully recover.
- Jackson's injury adds to Memphis's offseason health challenges, following other key players' setbacks, but his extension secures his presence amid the team's ongoing roster retooling.
