Utah Jazz forward Jaren Jackson Jr. will miss approximately six-to-eight weeks with a torn MCL in his right knee, though he will not require surgery. The injury occurred Monday when Memphis guard Ty Jerome fell into Jackson's knee after driving to the net. The absence deals a significant blow to a Jazz team hoping to contend for a playoff spot after acquiring Jackson at last season's trade deadline.
