Announced absent from the field for four or six months in early July, Jaren Jackson Jr. will return rather in early November, which would only cause him to miss a few games, or early January?
During “media day,” Memphis insiders had already been optimistic, explaining that they wanted it outright. ” beat “ the program announced by his franchise following the operation on his right foot, and therefore will return in October. In recent days Taylor Jenkins has confirmed this optimism, his player has accelerated his work sessions.
“Start doing a little more on the pitch”detailed the coach. “Always contactless. Competitions all over the field, individual work. It’s not just about steady work, it’s a bit more dynamic. It’s a step in the right direction from how the camp started. “
Will it allow him to return, as he hopes, before the end of the month? Difficult to say.
In any case, he will miss the entire preseason and the “training camp”, which is never very nice. However, having been around Ja Morant and Taylor Jenkins’ systems for three years, he shouldn’t have too much trouble finding his feet when he returns. In the meantime, Santi Aldama is the strong forward.
But it is not easy for the Spaniard to fill the void left by JJJ, the best blocker in the NBA last year …
“There’s a reason he’s in the best defensive team of the season” concludes Taylor Jenkins. “You can’t replace him with just one player. You have to do it collectively.”
