Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. crafts exciting social media post: 'All we think about'
By Mark Nilon
The Memphis Grizzlies just recently saw their lackluster 2023-24 campaign come to its bitter end, as they finished with a putrid record of 27-55 and, in turn, missed the playoffs for the first time in four years.
While many factors paved the way to such an unenviable finish, easily the most noteworthy was the club's inability to remain healthy, as Taylor Jenkins utilized a record number of players within his lineups throughout the course of their 82-game excursion.
From star talents to mere end-of-rotation role players, the Grizzlies couldn't seem to find a lineup to run with for more than a handful of games at a time.
Now, with six months separating the present day and tip-off to 2024-25, it appears big man Jaren Jackson Jr. is already getting juiced up about the idea of him once again joining a healthy unit consisting of star running mates Desmond Bane and Ja Morant, as he posted an exciting post on his personal Instagram of him with his teammates, along with the caption "It's all we think about."

This season, the trio of Morant, Jackson, and Bane were held to just nine total games played together as a result of the continuously chomping injury bug, a grave difference from seasons past where they managed to help guide the Grizzlies to 107 total wins and consecutive Southwest Division Championships during the previous two years.
With them together, Memphis is viewed as a legitimate title threat rather than a team gunning for a top-10 pick in the NBA lottery.
Fortunately, it seems all are eager to get back onto the hardwood and help lead this team back to relevancy.
Next season can't come soon enough!
