Grizzlies' Jaren Jackson Jr. opens up about his switch to No. 8 for next season
After seven seasons playing as No. 13 in Memphis — and winning Defensive Player of the Year, being a two-time All-Star — Jaren Jackson Jr. wanted a change. That's why he is switching to the No. 8 for this season, and he talked to Rohan Nadkarni of NBC News and Mary Omatiga of NBC Sports (the video above) about it. 'It's super personal to me. It's super personal to my family,' Jackson Jr. told NBC News about the switch. 'I'm connected with 8 in a real way. It reaches into the territory of new beginnings. It's infinite. It's just a good place to draw energy from.' Jackson's new number also comes with the new contract he signed this offseason, a five-year, $240 million max contract for a player that is at the heart of everything the Grizzlies do — he was second on the team in scoring at 22.2 points a game and is their defensive anchor. He was an All-Star, made an All-Defense team, and was just a couple of spots out of making All-NBA. Jackson's new number isn't the biggest change in Memphis this season — Desmond Bane left the team for Orlando. That's going to be a blow on the court, where he was a steadying two-way impact player for the Grizzlies. 'I wasn't too much surprised,' Jackson said of Bane's departure. 'I mean, when your brothers leave, you are still going to hurt, just because you're a human being. But at the end of the day, it's a business. And we're grown.' Jackson feels he's grown into the No. 8 and is ready for it.

Scottie Scheffler Gives A+ Review of Keegan Bradley's Captaincy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The PGA Tour is in Maryland to play the BMW Championship, but all fans already have one eye on the Ryder Cup, as it is only four weeks away. The work of both team captains has never been more under public scrutiny, a reality that becomes more palpable every day. Even world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has already had the opportunity to give his assessment of Keegan Bradley's work leading the American team. This happened during the press conference prior to the BMW Championship, and Scheffler described Bradley as passing the captaincy test in flying colors. "The intensity that he's brought as a captain -- I mean, he has definitely exceeded my expectations as far as a captain," Scheffler told the reporters. "He's done a great job. He's passionate about the Ryder Cup. He cares a lot about us as players. It's been a lot of fun kind of watching him develop in this role, and we're excited to get the Ryder Cup started." Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. Team speak to the media following Thursday's Four-ball matches on day one of the 2024 Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club on September 26, 2024... Keegan Bradley and Scottie Scheffler of the U.S. Team speak to the media following Thursday's Four-ball matches on day one of the 2024 Presidents Cup at The Royal Montreal Golf Club on September 26, 2024 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. MoreOne of the most talked-about storylines right now is whether Bradley will take on the role of player-captain. Scheffler initially avoided weighing in, but ultimately left no doubt about which option he supports. "I guess you're going to have to ask the captain that question," he said. "I think, looking at our squad, I think we have a really good group of guys. I think Keegan can only help that. I think if it's something that Keegan wants to be part of the team and wants to play, I think he's a guy we'd all love to have on the team." The BMW Championship will mark the end of the eligibility period for the American Team. After the names of the six direct qualifiers are announced, Bradley will decide and announce the six free picks, a process that could take several additional days or weeks. Each team already has three players secured: Scheffler himself, J.J. Spaun, and Xander Schauffele for the Americans, and Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, and Tommy Fleetwood for the Europeans.
