Bobby Jackson sidelined after hand injury
December 26, 2002
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Sacramento Kings guard Bobby Jackson will be sidelined for about six weeks with a broken left hand.
Jackson injured himself Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers when Shaquille O'Neal knocked the ball out of his hands while he was driving to the basket. Jackson, who wore a splint after the game, scored 11 points in the team's win over the Lakers.
Jackson underwent surgery Thursday at UC Davis Medical Center.
Jackson is averaging 19.5 points per game but has been coming off the bench since Mike Bibby returned from an injury earlier this month.
