Game thread: Jackson, Pistons take on Nets

Detroit Pistons fans will get this season's first glimpse of point guard Reggie Jackson tonight when he gets the start against the Brooklyn Nets at the Palace.

He missed the first preseason game – Tuesday night's 115-112 loss to the Indiana Pacers – with a sore Achilles.

But after a precautionary MRI showed no structural damage, Jackson is getting to the business of becoming accustomed to two new starters in the lineup – forwards Ersan Ilyasova and Marcus Morris.

"It'll be good to get him back out there tonight because he's been limited in what he can do," Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said after this morning's shoot-around.
