Detroit Pistons NBA guard Reggie Jackson is expected to miss about six to eight weeks with knee and thumb problems.
The Pistons say Jackson had platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections on Monday to treat left knee tendinosis and a sprained right thumb.
Detroit opens the regular season October 26 at Toronto, so Jackson's timetable could keep him out for at least the first month of the NBA season. He did not play in the team's pre-season opener at Brooklyn on Thursday.
The Pistons signed guard Ish Smith in the offseason, so his role will likely increase with Jackson out.
