Grizzlies Pick Up Contract Options On Prosper, Jackson

The Grizzlies are picking up their options on the 2026/27 contracts of Olivier-Maxence Prosper and GG Jackson, Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports (Twitter links).

Prosper’s 2026/27 salary will be $2,497,812, while Jackson will make $2,406,205.

Prosper signed a two-year standard contract in early March. Prosper, the 24th overall pick in the 2023 draft, spent his first two NBA seasons in Dallas, but became a cap casualty last offseason and was waived in August. Less than a week after he was cut by the Mavs, Prosper caught on with the Grizzlies on a two-way deal.

Prosper started 24 of 53 games for the banged-up Grizzlies last season, averaging 10.0 points per game on 54.9% shooting (40.5% from long range). He also grabbed an average of 3.5 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per game.

Jackson played in 55 games, including 28 starts. He averaged 12.5 points on 49.6% shooting (33.2% from deep), 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per night. The 2023 second-round pick has pushed through serious knee and foot injuries to become a productive member of the rotation.

However, with lottery pick Cameron Boozer entering the mix up front along with the addition of Isaiah Stewart via the trade market, both players could see their playing time diminish next season.
