Utah Jazz star Jaren Jackson Jr. has sustained a torn MCL in his right knee and will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, sources tell me and
@BannedMacMahon
. Jackson will not require surgery.

Utah lost 4 big men to injury in 24 hours

* Nurkic - starting center - out 1 month foot injury
* Jaxson Hayes - backup center - day to day
* Lauri Markkanen - looked like hand injury
* Jaren Jackson Jr - 6-8 weeks

They were down to Filipowski & Mo Bamba in that game last night.

That really sucks. He was playing so well.

Kawhi injured too. Unfortunate coincidence that he will miss his return to LA.

Nets weren't interested in Jaylen Brown?

And though Brown ended up in star-studded Philadelphia (with LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey), he could?ve landed in Brooklyn. And wasn?t wanted. They weren?t lowballing, a source said. They just shut it down altogether. They just said, We?re not interested. Sources told The Post that not only did the Celtics offer Brown to the Nets, but that the former Finals MVP was more than willing to join the Nets. It was the Nets that declined, according to sources, not about Boston?s asking price, but to avoid another Kyrie Irving situation.

The Nets did not want back their 2016 lottery pick that Billy King traded with Danny Ainge for back in 2013.

Players getting hurt already. Edwards & Jackson are the latest
