REGGIE JACKSON NEWS

Dealing with back tightness Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Jackson was limited to 14 minutes in Tuesday's 120-110 loss to the 76ers after his back tightened up during the contest, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN....

Impact Since re-entering the rotation over the weekend after backup point guard John Wall was shut down with an abdominal injury, Jackson has played 15 and 14 minutes in his two appearances with L.A. as the understudy to newly installed starter Terance Mann. Even if the back injury hadn't surfaced, Jackson likely wasn't in store for much more playing time than he received, but if he's able to play through the issue Wednesday against the Jazz, Lue could look for the veteran guard to absorb more minutes. Paul George (hamstring) has already been ruled out for the second half of the back-to-back set and Kawhi Leonard is likely to rest as well, leaving plenty of playing time up for grabs on the wing. Mann could end up seeing more work off the ball as a result, opening up more run at point guard for Jackson.

Reclaims rotation spot Head coach Tyronn Lue said that Jackson will step in as the Clippers' backup point guard behind starter Terance Mann beginning with Sunday's game against the Rockets with John Wall...

Impact After starting in each of his first 38 appearances of the season, Jackson was dropped from the top unit in favor of Mann a week ago and has logged just eight total minutes while coming off the bench for the past three contests. Though he'll continue to work in a reserve role, Jackson will at least reclaim a rotation spot now that Wall is likely sidelined until at least the early part of February. Expect Mann to continue to dominate the playing time at the position, rendering Jackson little more than a deep-league entity while he presumably handles a role that vacillates between 15 and 25 minutes per game.

Moves to bench Jackson isn't in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus the Hawks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Available Saturday Jackson (Achilles) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Jackson has appeared in the last five matchups, and he's averaged 11.2 points and 2.6 assists in 24.2 minutes per game during that time. He was questionable ahead of Saturday's game but will be able to play through his sore left Achilles.

Questionable Saturday Jackson is listed as questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Pacers due to left Achilles soreness.

Impact Jackson has already missed two games in December due to lingering pain in his left Achilles and is iffy for Saturday's contest. He has logged 25 or fewer minutes in four of his last five games while averaging 11.2 points across that span. If Jackson were to miss, John Wall would likely enter the starting lineup and Terance Mann could see an expanded role.

Shines as scorer against TOR Jackson contributed 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-113 win over the Raptors.

Impact Jackson reached the 20-point mark for the second time in the current month, but he plays a secondary role in an offense that's regularly carried by at least one of the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George duo. As such, he can't be relied upon to deliver strong scoring numbers on a regular basis. He's averaging 11.9 points per game while shooting 39.4 percent from the field in December.

Quiet in Wednesday's return Jackson posted 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 126-105 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Jackson was back in action after missing the past two games with an Achilles issue, sliding straight back into the starting lineup. Despite his relatively consistent role, Jackson is unlikely to be anything more than a situational streamer given the Clippers are now running at close to full strength.

Impact Jackson sat out Saturday's win over the Wizards due to back soreness, but now he's missing his second game of the year for a more concerning reason. In his absence, John Wall should start at point guard, while Terance Mann and Brandon Boston could also see more action.

Impact Jackson will get Saturday's game off to rest, as he has not gotten a night off this season. John Wall and Terrance Mann (concussion) are candidates to start in his place, while Jackson should be good to go for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Drops 20 points vs. Heat Jackson ended Thursday's 115-110 loss to the Heat with 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.

Impact Jackson reached the 20-point threshold for the first time since Nov. 29 against Portland, and he did so with the help of a solid shooting night from distance, where he scored 12 of his 20 points. He's now posted double figures in five of his last six contests but is not one to stuff the stat sheet, averaging 2.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 27 contests.

Impact Aside from ending three rebounds away from what would've been his first triple-double of the season, Jackson delivered a season-high mark in assists while also reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in his last seven appearances. Firmly entrenched as the Clippers' starting point guard, Jackson is averaging 17.0 points, 5.9 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game during that seven-game stretch.
