Best case scenario for Jaren Jackson Jr. (turf toe) is that his timetable is measured in months but still can make it back for training camp.
Random ass injuries. They’re just going to happen to basketball players, no matter what time of the year it is – 8:48 PM

Rumor season, but hard to see path to Grizz signing/acquiring Jerome or NAW that fits with JJJ extension, which they’re definitely trying to do. Not sure freeing up Aldama cap hold does it. Maybe a 3-team deal with Anthony going out, but I suspect they’ll need that for JJJ room. – 12:30 PM

Marc Stein lists the Grizzlies as a suitor for Ty Jerome. This isn’t the first mid-level free agent they’ve been linked to.
The question here is, how do they add a player like this while also clearing the cap space to renegotiate and extend Jaren Jackson Jr.? pic.x.com/IB0zrjxt3C – 11:40 AM
