New Jazz forward Jackson likely out for season

The recent acquisition is scheduled to undergo surgery for a growth on his left knee.

The Utah Jazz announced Thursday that recently acquired forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to sit out the remainder of the season to undergo surgery after a growth was detected in his left knee.

Jackson was acquired from Memphis last week in an eight-player deal, and the Jazz (18-37) said a localised pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) growth was identified in a post-trade physical.

The two-time All-Star averaged 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.51 blocks in 45 games with the Grizzlies this season.

The 2022-23 NBA Defensive Player of the Year played in three games for the Jazz (18-37) and averaged 22.3 points, 4.3 boards and 2.7 assists.

Drafted fourth overall by Memphis in 2018, Jackson has twice been named to the NBA All-Defensive First Team and is averaging 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.86 blocks in 455 career games.
