gameintr88 The Memphis Grizzlies have been ruled out of action for an indefinite period with a serious right quadriceps injury. gameintr88 

ESPN reported that the 4th overall pick in the 2018 draft class was so badly injured that the medical team deemed it appropriate to rest and recover 100% before returning to basketball activities. ( gameintr88 )

Without Jackson Jr., the team will struggle to perform better than 23-37, as the 19-year-old is averaging 13.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks, while shooting 36% from three-point range.

However, this could be good news given the current situation where the team is ranked 14th in the West and has a chance to have a top-8 pick in the 2019 draft class. 

That would mean that the 2019 draft rights owed to the Boston Celtics would not be given to them under the terms of the draft, which protects the No. 1-8 picks. However, if the Grizzlies end up with a good draft position at the end of the season and drop to No. 9 or lower, the rights would have to be given to the TD Garden.
