Piston point guard’s hydration issue resurfaces

Oakland, Calif. — In the aftermath of the Pistons giving up their 18-point lead in the 100-94 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, the locker room was quiet.

And one of their leaders, Reggie Jackson, wasn’t posted at his usual spot in front of his locker, soaking his feet in a bucket of ice. Jackson didn’t address media members after the game, as he was being treated for dehydration.

It’s not a new issue, as he had the same situation last season when he got overheated and had to be given fluids. It surfaced again after the game and Jackson was fine, but it’s another signal that he needs to manage his fluid intake better.
