Bobby Jackson hurt again!!! http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/8064610 Sacramento's Jackson has wrist surgery to fix ligament Jan. 4, 2005 SportsLine.com wire reports SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Kings guard Bobby Jackson is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing surgery Monday to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. Two pins were placed in Jackson's bone to stabilize the ligament, which was injured early in the season. He hasn't played since aggravating the injury last month during a game against Washington. Jackson's wrist will be in a cast for eight weeks, followed by eight weeks of gradual rehabilitation, the team said in a statement. According to that schedule, Jackson wouldn't be able to return before April 23. Jackson, the Kings' top reserve and the NBA's best sixth man in 2002-03, averaged 12.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 23 games this season -- but this is his third straight campaign with a major injury. He missed 21 games with a broken left hand during the 2002-03 season, then missed 28 of the Kings' final 29 regular-season games and last season's playoffs with a strained abdominal muscle.

A thin bench just got thinner! The Kings are a shell of their former self. Remember when their bench included Turkgolu, B Jackson, Jim Jackson, Keon Clark etc? They still should win a lot of games with their Bibby, Peja, Webber, Miller core. But Webber is getting older and Peja looks disinterested. That team needs a shakeup. I bet they wish they could move Webber and make this Peja's team.
Great call. So far Sac-Town, Denver and Orlando are my finalists to land JJ. New Orleans just have to move him in order not to lose him for nothing. Even a buyout is not wise for them - I see Denver as the team with the most/best to give to the Hornets. Best wishes to JJ comewhatmay.
