The Memphis Grizzlies are standing under the tough-luck cloud at the moment, having lost three straight games inside the final five seconds. And things got even darker on Tuesday as the team announced that Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is that in Memphis. He leads the team in scoring at 22.7 points a game (with 5.8 rebounds) and has become a primary shot creator for the Grizzlies, plus Jackson Jr. will be in the mix (and may be the front runner) for Defensive Player of the Year.

The Grizzlies are going to be without All-Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. for the immediate future. Jackson was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain and is considered week-to-week, the Grizzlies announced Tuesday. He suffered the injury during the first quarter of Memphis' loss to the Hawks on Monday.
