Frank Jackson becomes ninth Detroit Piston to enter NBA health and safety protocols

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson entered the NBA's health and safety protocols on Thursday, becoming the ninth player on the roster to do so this season.

Jackson had missed Detroit's previous three games with a lateral sprain in his right ankle, and will now miss additional time.

The news comes during the same week the Pistons saw their previous eight players in protocols return to action in some capacity. Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Saben Lee, Trey Lyles, Josh Jackson and Rodney McGruder have all rejoined the Pistons during their road trip.
