Grizzlies’ Jackson to have turf toe procedure

Memphis Grizzlies star big man Jaren Jackson Jr. suffered a turf toe injury in his right foot that while require a procedure to repair, the team announced on Tuesday.

Jackson sustained the injury during an open basketball run offsite. He is expected to make a full recovery but Memphis did not immediately release a timeline for return.

The news comes one day after Jackson agreed to a five-year, $240 million extension with Memphis. Jackson dealt with injury issues earlier in his career but appeared in 74 games for the Grizzlies last season, tied for the second-most games of his career.

Fellow Grizzlies big man Brandon Clarke is also recovering from a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee that ended his season in March. He avoided surgery, however, and is expected to be back for the start of next season.
