Utah Jazz forward Jaren Jackson Jr. has been diagnosed with a knee growth requiring surgery, which will sideline him for the rest of the season. This decision follows a post-trade MRI that revealed the injury just a few games after Jackson joined the Jazz. The news comes as a major setback for the team and casts doubts on their season ambitions, with some accusing the franchise of tanking amid these injury concerns. Former teammate Ja Morant expressed his support for Jackson following the announcement.
