Just days after signing a five-year, $240 million contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies, Jaren Jackson Jr. will undergo surgery for what is being reported as a turf toe injury suffered during “a live basketball run offsite.” Jackson Jr. is expected to miss about 12 weeks but should make a full recovery.

At just 25 years old the “Block Panther,” is a two-time All-Star, two-time blocks champion and was named the 2022-23 Defensive Player of the Year, well earning his place in the Grizzlies long-term plans.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the NBA players to lead the Association in blocks-per-game since the 2000-01 season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
