Reggie Jackson has had a bit of a cold start upon his healthy return to the Detroit Pistons‘ active roster. After missing the preseason and first 21 games of the season, Jackson retook the starting point guard position from Ish Smith, and it hasn’t been a flawless return.
Through his first five games, the Pistons went 2-3 and Jackson shot just 35.4 percent from the floor, scoring 12.2 points and giving out four assists per game in an average of 25 minutes. Understandably, when you’re going up against a league full of players who have been in game shape since the beginning of October, it’s going to take a while to get yourself back to speed.
