Auburn Hills — It’s a small step, but Reggie Jackson delighted in it anyway.
Just being back on the court following Wednesday’s practice, Jackson beamed with a smile as he put up some shots with a few teammates.
It’s the next stage of his rehabilitation from a Grade-3 right ankle sprain he suffered on Dec. 26 against the Indiana Pacers. The initial timeline was six to eight weeks, and Tuesday marked the eighth week since the injury.
“Jackson has been cleared to begin light running, shooting and continued ankle strengthening exercises,” the team announced Wednesday.
