Auburn Hills — After a tough, last-second loss on Tuesday night to the Miami Heat that effectively put a blowtorch to the Pistons’ playoff hopes, coach Stan Van Gundy wasn’t in the mood to talk about Reggie Jackson.
Van Gundy benched Jackson for the previous two games and didn’t dismiss the idea of shutting Jackson down for the final seven games of the regular season. It’s not that Jackson is feeling pain from his knee tendinitis or that there’s a complication.
He said that it’s just fatigue and that Jackson can’t make plays that he made last year, before treatments on his knee in the preseason.
