Sun Mar 3 2013 | 22:04 | Stephen Jackson (ankle) plays well in return |
Stephen Jackson (ankle) returned to action vs. the Pistons on Sunday with six points, eight rebounds, six assists and three turnovers in 26 minutes. |
Jax was doubtful to play but he laced them up for his short-handed squad, and he's worth a look in deep leagues (with the caveat that the Spurs only play twice this week). This game distills the Spurs' kitchen-sink approach with Tony Parker out approximately four weeks -- nobody played more than 27 minutes, and 14 different Spurs were in the scoring column. |

Sun Mar 3 2013 | 18:02 | Stephen Jackson will return on Sunday |
Stephen Jackson (ankle) will return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pistons. |
He suffered the sprain on Wednesday and missed Friday's game, but it sounds like he should be ready to go. Jackson may be charged with more responsibility with the ball since Tony Parker is out, but he's not worth owning in standard leagues. |

Stephen Jackson had a "routine" MRI performed on his ankle and is doubtful to play on Friday. |
Jackson sprained his ankle on Wednesday, and it's the same ankle he had issues with earlier in the season. The results of Jackson's MRI are pending, but we seriously doubt he'll play on Friday. Without him, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will be asked to do more on the wing. |

Wed Feb 27 2013 | 22:14 | Stephen Jackson sprains right ankle vs. PHX |
Stephen Jackson sprained his right ankle in Wednesday's game against the Suns and he will not return. |
This is the same famous right ankle that was sprained while New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg was being served a beverage. Jackson played just 17.7 minutes per game in February and guys like Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green may pick up a few extra minutes. |

Stephen Jackson played 20 minutes in his return from personal issues on Thursday, scoring five points to go with three rebounds, two assists and three steals vs. the Clippers. |
He got a little more burn that usual with Kawhi Leonard (knee) resting, but he still couldn't muster up anything for the majority of fantasy leagues. Captain Jack can be left on the wire in almost every league. |

Stephen Jackson (personal) says he plans to rejoin the Spurs in time for Thursday's game against the Clippers. |
Jackson has been away from the team since Feb. 11 and he wasn't expected to return in time for Thursday's game. Whether he plays against the Clippers is still up in the air, but at the very least he'll be on the bench. When he does return to game action, the values of Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green and Manu Ginobili should take a slight hit. |

Thu Jan 24 2013 | 00:18 | Stephen Jackson fills in at SF on Wednesday |
Stephen Jackson made a fill-in start at SF on Wednesday, scoring 15 points with three 3-pointers and three assists in a win over the visiting Hornets. |
Jack blocked a shot and made a handful of critical plays as the Spurs clawed their way back from an early deficit to win their sixth straight game, despite the absence of Tim Duncan (knee) and Kawhi Leonard (knee). Kawhi is day-to-day after cutting his knee on a nail during Monday's game, so Jackson doesn't have a long shelf-life as a starter. |
