New Orleans Pelicans guard Frank Jackson sustained a right foot fracture (fifth
metatarsal), it was determined following examination by Pelicans Director of
Medical Services/Head Team Physician Dr. Misty Suri. The injury occurred while
Jackson was training in New Orleans.
Jackson underwent successful surgery today by Dr. Martin O’Malley in New York,
NY and is expected to miss approximately 3-4 months. Jackson previously
underwent a procedure in May to correct a stress reaction in the same location.
Originally selected by Charlotte with the 31st overall pick in the 2017 NBA
Draft out of Duke University, Jackson was acquired by New Orleans in exchange
for the draft rights to Dwayne Bacon (40th overall) and cash considerations.
