Will Jaren Jackson Jr.’s injury cause a slow start for the Memphis Grizzlies?
It doesn’t feel like as merry of a Grizzmas Eve as it could have been. The Memphis Grizzlies are down Jaren Jackson Jr., Luke Kennard, and more entering in to opening night. But the NBA season is getting under way, and there are still reasons to be positive about Ja Morant and company. Hosts Damichael Cole and Joe Mullinax discuss that and more on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

Wow, really early for a live stream
Here we go… one game turns into two weeks which turns into “Jaren Jackson Jr will be reevaluated in 2 months.”
I'm concerned about both of the first segment topics and for the same reason. Jaren is injury prone, but his upside is worth it. Luke Kennard, to me, is not. I was probably as high on him a Joe, but the fact that I'm still not seeing him be able to get off shots, WHT is he here every now and again for. Is Luke Kennard going to be available for a full series let alone 4?
Felt the same way Joe smh
it's interesting that people really talk more about Jaren when he's out injured, not when he's playing.
Historically the team had no problem winning games without him. which means that he dose not impact to winning as much as you'd think.
I'd rather him be all the way healthy when he comes back.
Yuki- Morant- Bane – Clarke- Eddy Opening night lineup
I called this last week. We simply cannot trust the Grizzlies medical staff.
The most durable player last season is one of the first one injured this season
One thing about the Ja, Bane, Smart, Aldama, Edey is you get better spacing, Just wish we had vince and GG for shooting
These folks so scared to to say just run the show through Edey when Ja’s not on the floor Edey is a cheat code no one in the league can guard him 1on1 when he gets his man pinned in the post but let’s keep trying to run this new offense with all these players out hurt
I guess no concern doesn’t mean no concern anymore
Starters out, no bench offense, new offense resulting in high turnovers.
Going to be tough avoiding a slow start
Convinced most ppl haven’t played sports if they’re not understanding of making sure a hamstring is completely healthy without a doubt
Someone needs to send Joe's opening tantrum to his students
This medical staff has been missing it for years now and should all be fired. We ask a lot from our players and they deserve better care. Fire these incompetent idiots. Miss diagnosis of Jaren’s situation is unacceptable.
How can a player not be ready for opening night when he has not played all Preseason? What a complete failure of the training and medical staff. I understand injuries but not being ready for the opener is absolutely ridiculous. ZACH EDEY will be out there I know THAT. No wonder this Memphis team has underperformed you have a bunch of wussies on the team. Guys making millions of dollars can't play in opener. Should change the Memphis Grizzlies to the Memphis Wussies…
Ima from Memphis honestly we got the worst medical staff n da nba an ankle sprain will take grizzlies players like a month to come back
This is ridiculous! Someone needs to get fired.
If you can’t keep your people from non stop injury, then you need to find someone who can.
Trade for BI
We have the most talented team but lack the heart and desire. Dillon Brooks was that competitive spark, we don’t have that anymore. I just don’t feel good about the seriousness of our team. Why aren’t they training all summer? I mean really training? Why aren’t they playing together all summer?!
I know they have lives, but old school players were nonstop. The grizzlies have a 5 year horizon, they aren’t willing to sacrifice and put winning at the top of their priorities.
They can get all the talent in the world, until they get that Kevin Garnett insanity, Kobe Bryant intensity, Jordan competitiveness, etc., it won’t happen. Brooks was the dude who brought that. Ja doesn’t have that, nor does Jaren, maybe bane? Smart?
We are missing the mind stuff.
That intro lmao😄
Smart needs to be traded.Not a good fit for the Grizzlies.
