On Friday night, the Memphis Grizzlies will play the Cleveland Cavaliers (at home).
For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as All-Star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. is on the injury report.
The former Michigan State star has missed each of the previous five games, so this would be his sixth straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
