Grizzlies Star Gets Honest About Relationship With Dillon Brooks During World Cup

Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. is not talking to Brooks until after FIBA play

Speaking with Krysten Peek of Yahoo Sports, Memphis Grizzlies star Jaren Jackson Jr. was asked which teams he is most looking forward to facing in FIBA World Cup action. A starter for Team USA, Jackson said, "Spain and Canada, Dillon [Brooks] and Santi [Aldama]. That's really it for me. Maybe Luka [Doncic] or like, just on that level. But I mean, Santi and Dillon, for sure."

Jackson was asked if he has been talking trash to his teammate Aldama or his former teammate Brooks, and said he isn't talking to them at all until after the World Cup.

"I'm not talking to Santi until I get back to camp," Jackson said. "And I'm not talking to [Brooks]. I might talk to [Brooks] a little. Eh, no, I'm not talking - I'm not talking to [Brooks], even though I texted him, like, maybe yesterday. But soon, I'm going to stop talking to both of them."

When asked which team will pose the biggest challenge for Team USA, Jackson said, "Probably Canada. Probably Canada for sure, just because you just see who they got over there. I don't even want to name their players, but you see it."

Getting honest about his relationship with Brooks and Aldama during the World Cup, Jackson was clear that this is all business until the summer action concludes.
