GG Jackson voices frustration over officiating bias favoring veterans like Kevin Durant. After the Memphis Grizzlies' 119-109 loss to the Houston Rockets, Jackson criticizes calls that go Durant's way. "KD can jab step and just jump up and down, and your hand is right there," Jackson states, emphasizing how replays show no contact. Durant, in his 19th season, scores 25 points, contributing 10 assists and six rebounds while shooting seven free throws. The Rockets attempt 26 free throws, compared to 18 for Memphis. Jackson suggests that younger players, like himself, don't receive the same treatment. “It’s unbelievable how the refs can suck up to somebody," he remarks. Despite the Grizzlies' ongoing struggles, with one win in their last 14 games, Jackson steps up as injuries plague the roster, averaging 12 points per game and scoring 14 against Houston. He asserts, "On this court, I’m the closest one to him.
