Memphis Grizzlies suffered a significant injury blow as GG Jackson II underwent the surgery.

Shams Charania from The Athletic reports that the 19-year-old will miss at least three months of action after the surgery to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot.

Memphis updated Jackson's status for an injury they first announced on August 30. Jackson hurt his foot on a layup playing basketball in Texas last week.

In his rookie season, Jackson II averaged 14.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game in 48 appearances for the Grizzlies.

Jackson earned second-team NBA All-Rookie honors and was a bright spot in an injury-plagued season for the Grizzlies, who finished 27-55.

This development could impact the team's betting odds on NBA betting websites, as Jackson's absence may affect Memphis' performance in the early part of the season.
