Jaren Jackson Jr. Out 6-8 Weeks With Right Knee MCL Tear

Utah Jazz center Jaren Jackson Jr. is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks after suffering a torn MCL in his right knee when Memphis guard Ty Jerome fell into his leg during Monday's 110-105 loss. The injury will not require surgery. The two-time All-Star has averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in seven games for Utah this season. His extended absence stings a Jazz squad facing serious frontcourt depth issues.
