As a result, the 25-year-old missed the last five games. Before going down, Jackson was having an excellent season, averaging 22.7 points, a career-high, with 5.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.3 steals. It's unknown if he'll see a minutes restriction. However, Jackson should be back starting in all fantasy lineups, with GG Jackson II heading back to the bench.

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (ankle) has a chance to return from a five-game absence after being listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Defensive Player of the Year sprained his ankle on March 3 against the Atlanta Hawks and hasn't been able to take the court since then.
