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.

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.

In a game the Memphis Grizzlies needed to win, three of the team's longest-tenured players stepped up with big performances.
