  • No homecoming for Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) as Jazz visit Grizzlies

    The high-profile homecoming for Jaren Jackson Jr. will not materialize.

    When the Memphis Grizzlies sent the veteran forward to the Utah Jazz shortly before the Feb. 5 trade deadline, they realized the schedule-makers had built in an intriguing mid-February matchup.

    But when the Grizzlies play the visiting Jazz on Friday, Jackson will not be in uniform. The former Defensive Player of the Year, in his eighth NBA season, underwent successful surgery earlier this week in Salt Lake City to remove a localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) growth from his left knee. A physical performed after the trade revealed the growth.

    Jackson, the league’s top defender in 2022-23, will be out for at least four weeks, according to the Jazz, and could return to the court later this season.

    In his team debut on Feb. 7 against the Orlando Magic, he had 22 points, three assists and three steals in 25 minutes. He is averaging 19.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 48 games, all but three with the Grizzlies.

    Jackson, John Konchar and Vince Williams Jr. went from the Grizzlies to the Jazz on Feb. 3. Memphis received Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three first-round draft picks.

    Utah coach Will Hardy has only worked with Jackson briefly, but he said the Jazz knew the quality person and player they were getting.

    ‘When we traded for Jaren, obviously there is so much talk about (Jaren) the player,’ Hardy said. ‘And I’m very excited about the player. But what we are trying to build as an organization and a program, Jaren’s character, and who he is as a person, is just as important.

    ‘That has been evident since the day that he (joined the Jazz). He is a high-character guy. He has a good sense of humor. He also has a respect level that comes with him because of how he has played during his career.’

    Letting go of another key member of the Grizzlies’ core was difficult for Memphis general manager Zach Kleiman, but it could be a move that pays dividends.

    ‘We felt good about the return (for Jackson) and we felt it healthier for the organization to turn the page as much as we were able to and be able to build this team with a clear mind as to what we’re trying to achieve going forward, which is pivoting to a younger build,’ Kleiman said. ‘We’re not shying away from that. That’s where this team is.’

    While the Grizzlies adjust to life without Jackson for the first time since he was taken with the No. 4 pick in the 2018 draft, they are hoping to snap a four-game losing streak without star guard Ja Morant.

    Sidelined with a left elbow sprain since Jan. 23, Morant missed the team’s last 11 games and is expected to miss another two weeks. He has only appeared in 20 games because of a variety of injuries.

    With Morant out, guard Ty Jerome recently returned from a right calf injury that had him unavailable from the start of the season. In his six games back, Jerome has averaged 19.7 points in 20.2 minutes.

    Other contributions have come from Jaylen Wells, Cam Spencer and Cedric Coward, who were selected to play in last Friday’s Rising Stars mini-tournament at NBA All-Star Weekend. Coward was withheld from action due to knee soreness.

    Jazz standout Keyonte George missed six of the final seven games before the break due to injuries to each ankle. He is averaging 23.8 points in 48 games.

  • Without Jaren Jackson Jr., Jazz take aim at Blazers

    [ad_1]

    Jaren Jackson Jr. was fitting in well and making a solid first impression with the Utah Jazz.

    On Thursday morning, however, the Jazz announced Jackson will undergo surgery on his left knee. Their announcement came nine days acquiring him in an eight-player trade with the Memphis Grizzlies.

    Without Jackson, the Jazz will look to put the pieces together on Thursday night when they battle the Portland Trail Blazers in Salt Lake City.

    The clash will be the final one before the All-Star break for both teams.

    Jackson scored 22 points in 25 minutes in his Utah debut on Saturday in a road loss against the Orlando Magic. Two nights later, he again had 22 points in 25 minutes as the Jazz notched a road victory over the Miami Heat.

    Jackson kept it going Wednesday with 23 points in 22 minutes as Utah walloped the visiting Sacramento Kings 121-93.

    ‘Credit to my teammates,’ Jackson said after the latest win. ‘It’s been a great week. It’s been crazy. They have made me feel welcome and comfortable. I’m glad to get a home game in. It was loud. It’s been great.’

    Jackson, a two-time All-Star, is averaging 19.5 points in 48 games, the first 45 coming for the Grizzlies.

    The Jazz acquired Jackson to team with Lauri Markkanen, a former All-Star who narrowly missed making the team this season. Markkanen is averaging a career-best 26.7 points in 41 games after scoring 19 against the Kings.

    ‘He can do everything on the court,’ Jackson said of Markkanen. ‘This fan base knows what he brings. I’m happy to be out there with him, and we’re going to keep doing it.’

    Utah has won back-to-back games for the first time since late December. The Jazz lost 12 of 14 games before the wins over Miami and Sacramento.

    The two victories came without standout guard Keyonte George (sprained right ankle), who has missed five of the past six games, the first three due to a sprained left ankle.

    Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are completing a quick two-game road trip.

    Portland fell into 10th place in the Western Conference when it was blasted 133-109 by the Timberwolves on Wednesday in Minneapolis. Julius Randle had 41 points for Minnesota.

    Jrue Holiday led Portland with 23 points while All-Star Deni Avdija managed just 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting. He missed all seven shots from behind the arc.

    Avdija has struggled with lower back pain in recent weeks and is a candidate to be rested on the second end of the back-to-back.

    Portland’s Shaedon Sharpe (left calf strain) will likely miss his fourth straight game.

    Trail Blazers interim coach Tiago Splitter wasn’t pleased with the effort against Minnesota. Particularly disturbing was seeing his squad turn the ball over 26 times to match its season worst. The Timberwolves scored 43 points off the miscues.

    ‘Of course, not a great game. We couldn’t get our rhythm,’ Splitter said. ‘They did a tremendous job with their defense. We turned the ball over way too much. Can’t win a game like that.’

    Portland might fare better Thursday as it is 2-0 against the Jazz this season. The Trail Blazers recorded a 136-134 win on Oct. 29 in Salt Lake City, and Portland led by as many as 32 points during a 137-117 home win over the Jazz on Jan. 5.

    ‘We got to get better and we will,’ Splitter said. ‘I think it was an off-game for everyone (Wednesday).

    ‘We got to bounce back. We have another game (Thursday) night. We have to regroup and see who’s ready to play.’

  • Cedric Coward ailing as Grizzlies host Spurs

    [ad_1]

    During a season in which Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant has missed approximately half of the team’s 35 games due to injury, teammates seem to be joining him on the sidelines on a consistent basis.

    The latest to join the oft-injured Morant was rookie Cedric Coward, a bright spot for the Grizzlies this season and a player who had mostly escaped the injury bug. He had missed only one game this season because of heel soreness but he will sit out Tuesday’s game against the visiting San Antonio Spurs due to an ankle injury.

    In Sunday’s 120-114 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, Coward injured his left ankle in the first half and didn’t return as the Grizzlies dropped their fourth straight. Morant began the game on the sidelines in street clothes, a victim of a right calf contusion suffered two days earlier, also against the Lakers.

    Morant has played in just 18 games this season and is questionable for Tuesday due to a right calf contusion.

    Reserve guards Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe) and Ty Jerome (calf) have yet to play this season because of their injuries. Forward Brandon Clarke (calf) made a brief appearance last month after recovering from a knee issue, but was injured again. Starting big man Zach Edey has been out with a stress reaction in his surgically repaired left ankle.

    Reserve wing players John Konchar (thumb) and Vince Williams Jr. (knee), who has been pressed into emergency point guard duties on occasion, also are out with injuries.

    Coward had 16 points and eight rebounds before injuring his left ankle in the second quarter against the Lakers.

    ‘I thought he played a great game, but he only got to play 12-and-half minutes,’ Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo said.

    His long-term loss would be impactful. Coward has played the fourth-most minutes for the Grizzlies this season, trailing only Jaren Jackson Jr., Santi Aldama and Jaylen Wells. Coward’s defensive rebounding percentage (16.1%) ranks third behind Edey (25%) and Santi Aldama (16.4%).

    The Grizzlies will attempt to recover during a stretch of seven home games in their next nine games. The two non-home games will be against the Orlando Magic in Berlin and London.

    Memphis entered the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Lakers with a four-point advantage, but couldn’t maintain it. Luke Doncic and LeBron James took control of the game’s final 12 minutes to extend the Grizzlies’ misery. Cam Spencer, who started in place of Morant, had a rare off-shooting night missing nine of his 10 field goal attempts, including all five of his 3-point shots.

    San Antonio has been dealing with injury issues of its own. Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ NBA most valuable player candidate, missed Saturday’s 115-110 home loss to the Portland Trail Blazers with left knee soreness. Coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama, averaging 24.3 points and 11.7 rebounds with 61 blocks in 21 games, will make the trip to Memphis and could be available.

    The Spurs listed Wembanyama as questionable for the contest on Monday’s injury report.

    Even without Wembanyama, Johnson would have liked to have seen a better effort.

    ‘Guys were not playing with their instincts,’ Johnson said. ‘If we continue to guard like we guard at the start of games teams will continue to shoot like they have. There’s been enough of a sample size in the recent part of games that I don’t think it’s an outlier.’

    Luke Kornet had 23 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots against Portland. Julian Champagnie added 20 points and 10 rebounds while De’Aaron Fox scored 19 points.

    The Spurs have won seven of their last 10.

  • Bench boosts Bulls heading into matchup with Hornets

    [ad_1]

    (Photo credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images)

    Looking to stamp a winning homestand, the Chicago Bulls host the reeling Charlotte Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back for both teams on Saturday.

    Chicago beat the Orlando Magic 121-114 on Friday to improve to 3-2 on its weeklong stretch of home games. A third straight win on Saturday would push the Bulls over the .500 mark for the first time since late November.

    The Bulls had three reserves contribute heavily vs. Orlando. Kevin Huerter’s 20 points, Ayo Dosunmu’s 17 and Patrick Williams’ 15 paced a Chicago group built on balance.

    ‘I thought the bench was great (on Friday),’ Chicago coach Billy Donovan said. ‘I thought Patrick gave us some really good minutes. I think someone had mentioned to me that it’s now 13 straight games that our bench has scored over 30 points, and I think our bench is like third or fourth in the league in scoring. We need everybody, and I’ve tried to preach that to our guys.’

    The Bulls’ need for more hands on deck has been magnified by Josh Giddey’s left hamstring strain, which will leave the 23-year-old out for an extended period of time.

    Giddey is tied with Coby White — who is out because of right calf tightness — for the team lead in points per game (19.2). Giddey also is tied with Nikola Vucevic’s team-high 8.9 rebounds per contest, and he paces the Bulls (and ranks third in the NBA) with 9.0 assists per game.

    In addition to Giddey and White, Chicago forward Zach Collins won’t play on Saturday due to a sprained right toe.

    The Bulls and Hornets will meet for the third time this season after the teams split a pair in Charlotte. The Hornets won 123-116 on Nov. 28, and Chicago posted a 129-126 victory on Dec. 12.

    Charlotte has dropped its past three games, including a heartbreaking 122-121 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

    Rookie Kon Knueppel’s 26 points and Miles Bridges’ 25 were nearly enough to lead the Hornets to just their fifth road win of the season, but Giannis Antetokounmpo’s dunk with 4.7 seconds left extended Charlotte’s losing streak. Brandon Miller misfired on a drive to the basket at the buzzer.

    ‘I thought our guys competed their tails off,’ Hornets coach Charles Lee said. ‘I thought there were some stretches where we could have taken complete control of the game. But credit to our players for their competitive spirit.’

    In what’s shaping up to be Charlotte’s fourth straight losing season, the franchise has found a star in Knueppel. The 20-year-old former Duke standout leads all first-year players with an average of 19.5 points per game, and he has scored in double figures in each of his past 15 games.

    Hornets center PJ Hall earned his first career start in the loss at Milwaukee, and he finished with four points and a team-high eight rebounds in 19 minutes. After brief stints with the Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, the 23-year-old Clemson product is catching Lee’s eye on the youth-filled roster.

    ‘I think PJ coming into this environment really early in his career shows how good of a player he is,’ Lee said. ‘He leaves an impact on the game on both sides of the floor. I’m glad about his ability to step into the starting lineup and give us a good boost.’

  • No. 17 Michigan State out to build off 2nd marquee win vs. Detroit Mercy

    [ad_1]

    (Photo credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images)

    There is one big question facing No. 17 Michigan State as it prepares to take on Detroit Mercy on Friday in East Lansing, Mich.

    Can the Spartans avoid a letdown?

    One certainly appears possible, given how impressive Michigan State looked in one of its most important nonconference games of the season, an 83-66 win over No. 12 Kentucky on Tuesday in New York.

    It was the second resume-boosting win the Spartans (4-0) have already secured in the first three weeks of the season, after a home win over then-No. 14 Arkansas on Nov. 8.

    There’s certainly a lot of reason for Michigan State to be hyped, which is why intensity could be a concern coming back home to play a lesser opponent, especially on such a short turnaround.

    However, if Michigan State keeps sharing the ball like it has the past two games against San Jose State and Kentucky, there shouldn’t be much for the fan base to be worried about.

    ‘What I’m proudest (of), though, with this team, where it’s getting a little bit like last year, it’s very unselfish,’ Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. ‘Twenty-five assists on 32 baskets. The other day, it was 24 assists on 28 baskets (against San Jose State). I still think we’ve got some more upside. I think our running game can get better.’

    Michigan State has been led so far by its four returning core players, senior frontcourt players Jaxon Kohler and Carson Cooper, junior forward Coen Carr and sophomore point guard Jeremy Fears Jr.

    Transfers Trey Fort (Samford) and Divine Ugochukwu (Miami) have added backcourt depth, and freshmen Jordan Scott and Cam Ward have made early contributions.

    The biggest revelation for Michigan State against Kentucky was the performance of sophomore Kur Teng, who played sparingly last year.

    Teng will be used in a more expanded role this year and played his best college game against Kentucky, scoring 15 points and making three shots from 3-point range in 18 minutes.

    ‘Kur was really good,’ Izzo said.

    Now, Michigan State will turn its attention to Detroit Mercy in what will be a homecoming game for Titans’ head coach Mark Montgomery, a former point guard for the Spartans who had two coaching stints on Izzo’s staff.

    Montgomery is in his second year as head coach of Detroit Mercy (1-4). The Titans have lost their last two games, the latest being a 72-62 home defeat against Eastern Michigan on Tuesday.

    Picked ninth in the preseason Horizon League poll, Detroit Mercy is led by senior guard Orlando Lovejoy, who averaged 16.4 points per game last year. Senior guard Jared Lary and sophomore guard TJ Nadeau are other returnees for the Titans.

    But this year’s team is filled with plenty of new faces, with three transfers and five freshmen on the roster.

    Montogomery said this time of year is important to get those younger players ready for league play and to instill a consistent rotation.

    ‘The young guys are gaining experience,’ Montgomery said after the loss to Eastern Michigan. ‘Most of them played more than 10 minutes a game. You want to come out on the winning end, but you have to learn from these kinds of games, pick yourself up. There’s a lot of basketball ahead of us.’

  • Report: Pacers sign Mac McClung to multi-year contract

    [ad_1]

    (Photo credit: Kyle Terada-Imagn Images)

    Three-time reigning NBA slam dunk contest champion Mac McClung is joining the Indiana Pacers on a multi-year deal, ESPN reported on Monday.

    McClung, 26, who played in six NBA games from 2021-25, landed his first standard contract with the league, though it’s a nonguaranteed contract. In those six games with the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic, McClung averaged 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 12.7 minutes.

    Per the report, former No. 2 overall pick James Wiseman will be waived by Indiana to open a roster spot for McClung.

    Wiseman, 24, made his season debut on Saturday and scored four points in 20 minutes in a 128-103 road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed all but the season opener last season due to an Achilles tear.

    McClung, a shooting guard and point guard, will provide backcourt depth with guards Bennedict Mathurin (foot) and Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) listed as day-to-day. Forward Obi Toppin (leg) is also day-to-day.

    Indiana is also without point guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring), who is rehabbing from the injury he sustained before the season. All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles) will miss the season.

  • Crew remain 9th in East with Orlando City draw

    [ad_1]

    (Photo credit: Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images)

    Fullback Marcelo Herrera scored his third goal and the Columbus Crew earned their best result in weeks with a 1-1 draw Saturday night at Orlando City.

    Goalkeeper Patrick Schulte’s error not long after Herrera’s tally kept the Crew from halting a winless run that extended to four matches.

    But it was still a promising performance from Columbus (13-8-12, 51 points) against a potential playoff opponent, even though it remained ninth in the Eastern Conference with the draw.

    Crew leading scorer Diego Rossi also made his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury in a 5-4 win Sept. 13 at Atlanta.

    Marco Pasalic scored his 12th league goal for Orlando (14-7-11, 53 points), which saw a three-match home MLS winning streak snapped.

    Pedro Gallese made six saves in a performance the Lions needed to extend a modest unbeaten run to four games, which includes three draws.

    Columbus opened the scoring in the 32nd minute before Orlando responded only two minutes later.

    For the Crew, Lassi Lappalainen got down the left, then appeared to catch Orlando’s defense off guard by sending in a cross a few yards before he reached the byline.

    It met Herrera making a clever run parallel to the goal line, and the Argentine dispatched a tidy first-time finish past the flailing Gallese, who had too little time to react.

    The Lions pulled level essentially on their next trip into the Columbus end.

    Luis Muriel took a speculative shot from outside the box that dipped as it reached Schulte, who spilled it forward.

    Pasalic reacted to the error before the keeper could and capitalized for his first tally since he scored a consolation goal in a Leagues Cup semifinal defeat to Miami on Aug. 27.

    Columbus had the better of the late chances.

    Gallese made an enormous save with his trailing leg in the 83rd minute to deny Max Arfsten at point-blank range after Arfsten outmuscled Alex Freeman for a cross.

    Three minutes later, Herrera and Darlington Nagbe combined to find Daniel Gazdag, who missed the target from an excellent position near the penalty spot.
