Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. had an adorable moment this offseason. The 25-year-old forward recently shared an emotional story behind the jersey number change, and now came up with teammate Ja Morant’s daughter, Kaari, in a basketball camp at the Memphis Sports & Events Center.
Jaren is recovering from a foot injury that required surgery in July. Fortunately, he seemed well during the camp and moved around without discomfort. He also shared how much Memphis means to him. After seven seasons with this franchise, he calls the city home and loves giving back to the community that supports him.
Jaren hosted his young basketball camp on September 13, 2025. An adorable moment came when Jaren shared the court with teammate Morant’s daughter, Kaari. He told the little one to go for a shot, and it passed through the basket successfully. The whole moment got viral and gained a lot of public attention.
Jaren and Morant played together for the Memphis team at their best and demonstrated their significance whenever needed. However, an NBA analyst expressed deep concern about the duo’s future after Desmond Bane’s shocking trade. Whether the team trades for them or not, their bond with Memphis and the community will remain evergreen.
Jaren Jackson Jr. And Ja Morant Shape Memphis’ Future
Jackson is entering his eighth NBA season and just signed a big five-year contract. He has earned awards like All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year. Now, he wants to win more with the Grizzlies.
He and Morant are the two main stars in Memphis. But they did not play together often, and when they did, Jackson did not play his best. That needs to change for the team to succeed.
Jackson must stay strong, avoid foul trouble, and play well in the playoffs. This season is his chance to lead the Grizzlies and take the next big step.
