Jaren Jackson Jr. tears his MCL and will miss 6-8 weeks

Utah's Jaren Jackson Jr. has a torn MCL in his right knee but won't need surgery, per ESPN's Shams Charania and Tim MacMahon. He was hurt early in the second quarter of Monday's loss to Memphis when Ty Jerome fell into his knee, and the Jazz will re-evaluate him in six weeks. Lauri Markkanen, who also left that game, has a sprained right wrist and is day-to-day. Jackson averaged 19.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in three games.
