Writer Matt John argues that Jaren Jackson Jr.'s tendency to commit excessive fouls resurfaced as a major concern during a preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Jackson recorded five fouls in under 18 minutes of action, echoing a recurring issue from his prior tenure with the Memphis Grizzlies, where he averaged 3.7 fouls per game over his career.
