    No, the abbreviation 'Jr.' isn't followed by a comma, i.e.

    Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968.

    No commas at all anymore. It used to be that Jr, Sr, MD, etc., were set off by commas before and after. Now they do not require any commas on either side.
