Grosse Pointe – Reggie Jackson is getting close to stepping back on a basketball court. In the meantime, he’s getting close to his community.

The Pistons guard – who missed 37 games last season due to a Grade 3 sprain in his right ankle – was on hand Wednesday representing his Determined to Assist Foundation for the grand opening of a renovated literacy lounge at Marquette Elementary-Middle School. The upgrades, done in partnership with Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan, included new books, furniture, and wall graphics with inspirational quotes.
