Auburn Hills — As Reggie Jackson continued his rehabilitation from a severely sprained right ankle, he did some shooting drills with forward Henry Ellenson and assistant coach Otis Smith after Wednesday’s shootaround.
On Monday, Jackson played one-on-one with Pistons assistant video coordinator Jordan Brink, who played at Calvin College in Division III three years ago. That workout didn’t go as well as Jackson planned, as he lacked his normal lateral quickness and was still a step slow.
On Wednesday, Jackson looked better, doing some quick movements and moving into shots without much difficulty.
It’s an encouraging glimpse of Jackson’s progress, as he still thinks he can make it back this season and play.
