Jazz center Jaren Jackson Jr. to miss rest of season after undergoing knee surgery shortly after trade

The Utah Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. on Feb. 3. Fewer than 10 days later, reports emerged suggesting Jackson would miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery.

Jackson, 26, played in just three games with the Jazz before being shut down for the rest of the season.

Jackson was in the midst of yet another strong season with the Memphis Grizzlies before being traded to the Jazz prior to the deadline. Jackson is averaging 19.4 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. He’s even more valuable than those numbers, as Jackson is also considered one of the league’s best defenders.
