The Memphis Grizzlies' eventful offseason has slowed down as an organization, but their stars continue to make positive headlines. Jaren Jackson Jr. agreed to a renegotiation and contract extension this offseason to remain with the franchise that drafted him for five additional seasons.
When the news announcement broke for his $240 million extension, it was followed by other news surrounding the All-Star big man. Jaren had surgery to repair a turf toe injury he suffered in a workout, and it will keep him out at least until the beginning of training camp. The other news that dropped was the changing of his jersey number from 13 to 8.
