Jaren Jackson Jr. is coming off another productive season with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The former Michigan State star averaged 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field and 32.0 percent from three-point range in 66 games.
On Monday, Jackson Jr. posted an Instagram post featuring a clip from a recent basketball game.
Jackson Jr. captioned his post: “It might be time”
One person who left a comment on his post was Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant.
Morant wrote: “so let’s dance mf!!”
For Grizzlies fans, it’s nice to see two of their top three players interacting on social media.
They always seemed to have good chemistry during their five seasons as teammates.

Last year, the Grizzlies struggled with injuries and finished 13th in the Western Conference with a 27-55 record.
They missed the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
Morant played just nine games last season, but he finished with averages of 25.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game while shooting 47.1 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from three-point range.
If he returns to full health next year, the two-time NBA All-Star will likely be in the conversation as one of the league’s top 15 players.
In addition to Jackson Jr. and Morant, the Grizzlies also feature Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Desmond Bane, Luke Kennard and GG Jackson II.
