Pistons' Reggie Jackson participates in non-contract drills

Auburn Hills — Reggie Jackson made another small step in his rehab regiment.

Jackson, who has been out more than a month since having a plasma injection in his left knee and right thumb to treat tendinitis, participated in 5-on-5 non-contact team drills in Tuesday’s practice.

Although Jackson, the Pistons’ leading scorer last season, is progressing according to the original recovery timeline of six to eight weeks, he’s likely still a couple of weeks away from getting back to the lineup.

“Today he did all the non-contact stuff, so he did some game-speed shooting and he ran through dummy offense with us,” coach Stan Van Gundy said.
