Report: Grizzlies trade Jaren Jackson Jr. to Jazz - NBA
The Utah Jazz have made a big move as the trade deadline nears. The Memphis Grizzlies have sent star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. and John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. to the Utah Jazz for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hedricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks. The teams announced the deal on Tuesday evening. Utah receives: Jaren Jackson Jr. Jock Landale John Konchar Vince Williams Jr. Memphis receives: Walter Clayton Jr. Kyle Anderson Taylor Hendricks Georges Niang Three future first-round picks https://twitter.com/utahjazz/status/2018837439801176422 https://twitter.com/memgrizz/status/2018842519602434328 Jackson is averaging 19.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.5 blocks per game in 45 games with Memphis this season. He is a two-time All-Star and was named Kia Defensive Player of the Year in 2022-23. Jackson spent his entire eight-season career with the Grizzlies after they selected him No. 4 overall in the 2018 Draft. He and Ja Morant comprised the core of Memphis' team as it rose from a lottery team to a Play-In Tournament team to a playoff team in short order. The Jazz are adding Jackson, who is under contract through the 2029-30 season (he has a player option) to a core that includes All-Star Lauri Markkanen, guard Keyonte George, young swingman Ace Bailey, injured center Walker Kessler and a host of other talent. Konchar is under contract through next season, Williams has a team option for 2026-27 and Landale will be a free agent this summer. Landale (11.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 1.7 apg) is enjoying his best NBA season and has become a key rotation player for Memphis, while Williams and Konchar have seen smaller roles this season. Memphis (19-29) is No. 11 in the Western Conference and three games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for the final SoFi Play-In Tournament spot. Utah (15-35) has lost six in a row and has the third-worst record in the Western Conference. Of the four Utah players moving to Memphis in the deal, none averaged more than 7.1 points per game this season. Niang has yet to play because of an injury. He was with Atlanta last season, got traded to Boston in July and then sent to Utah in August. The Jazz are moving on from two recent Draft picks in this trade, parting with Hendricks (the No. 9 pick in the 2023 Draft) and Clayton Jr. (No. 18 pick in 2025). Hendricks is averaging 4.9 ppg and 3 rpg this season, while Clayton is at 6.8 ppg, 2 rpg and 3.2 apg. Anderson (7.1 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 3.1 apg) will be on his second stop with the Grizzlies (the fan favorite played there from 2018-22). Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
