Grizzlies Announce Big Injury News Before Cavaliers Game
The Memphis Grizzlies will look to extend their four-game winning streak when they take on the hot Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. Cleveland currently boasts the best record in the league and is on an impressive 15-game winning streak, making them a tough challenge for Memphis.
The two teams previously met late last month in a tightly contested game, with the Cavaliers securing a 129-123 victory. Donovan Mitchell led all scorers in the game with 33 points, while Jaren Jackson Jr. was the Grizzlies’ top scorer on the night. Cleveland has since confirmed that the team will be without Mitchell, who was ruled out on Thursday’s report as he continues to recover from a groin injury. However, Memphis could get a major boost with the possible return of their top performer this season.
Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. has been sidelined since March 5 with an ankle sprain that was expected to make him “week-to-week” as he recovered, per the team. Now, he could be making his return against Cleveland. The Grizzlies released their injury report ahead of the game, listing Jackson as questionable.
