Former South Carolina men’s basketball star GG Jackson continues to perform at a high level in the NBA.

In a thrilling 121-113 victory over the Houston Rockets, former South Carolina standout GG Jackson earned Player of the Game honors for the Memphis Grizzlies. Jackson's recent surge has been a revelation for Memphis in light of the abnormal amount of injuries on their main roster.

GG tallied an impressive 20 points on 53 percent shooting from the floor, along with nine rebounds and three blocks, contributing significantly to the Grizzlies' win. His dynamic play on both ends of the court was a critical factor in the game's outcome, as Jackson continues to show that his skillset goes beyond the volume shooter reputation he had coming out of Columbia.
