To say the 2016-2017 season was a disappointment for Reggie Jackson would be an understatement. After being the leading scorer on a promising young playoff team in 2015-16, things were looking up for Reggie Jackson. That is until he opted to have platelet-rich plasma treatment on his lingering knee tendinitis, which would cost him the first 21 games of the season.
His return was supposed to spark the 11-10 Pistons towards the upper tier of the Eastern Conference. Instead, his return did more harm than good.
Jackson was ineffective for most of the season. He simply did not have the same explosiveness he had driving to the basket throughout his career and the offense completely floundered because of it.
