Jackson inches closer to return; Drummond status TBD for New York

Reggie Jackson looked eager to return to Stan Van Gundy’s practices Tuesday – if only to get away from Mark Cranston.

Under the direction of Cranston, Pistons trainer, Jackson was running line drills – back and forth, cross court, sideline to sideline – until he appeared ready to topple in exhaustion.

From Van Gundy’s perspective, that made for a good day.

“They came in today and said that he could be able to do anything non-contact,” Van Gundy said. “To me, that’s a good progression because it’s a good step in that when he’s physically ready to go, he’ll know everything that we’re doing and be back in it.
