LAS VEGAS – It was a shaping up to be close to a perfect Friday afternoon for New Orleans until rookie guard Frank Jackson drove into the lane in the third quarter, with Jackson’s left foot landing awkwardly on a Toronto player’s leg. Making his NBA debut a year later than expected due to foot surgeries, Jackson had to leave his first pro contest with a left ankle sprain, after only playing 13 minutes. The Duke product played extremely well during that allotment, scoring 13 points and grabbing six rebounds, mostly at point guard.
