Reggie Jackson Suffers Injury in Game 3 Victory

Piston's Point Guard Exits Game with Calf Injury

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson has suffered a left calf injury that will keep him out for at least four weeks, the team announced Saturday. Jackson suffered the injury late in the Pistons' Game 3 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.

Concerns Over Game 4 Participation

The injury is a major blow to the Pistons, who are currently tied 1-2 with the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. Jackson is averaging 17.8 points and 5.8 assists per game in the playoffs, and his absence will be a big loss for Detroit.

With Jackson out, the Pistons will likely turn to Christian Braun or Justin Holiday to fill in at point guard. Braun has started 12 games this season, while Holiday has averaged 6.8 points and 2.6 assists per game.

Jackson's Injury History

Jackson has a history of injuries, including a left calf strain that he suffered in February. He also missed 12 games earlier this season with a back injury.

Conclusion

Jackson's injury could be a major turning point in the Pistons' playoff series against the Lakers. With Jackson out, the Pistons will have to find a way to replace his production and leadership on the court. If they can't do that, the Lakers will be heavily favored to win the series.
