Reggie Jackson: To face minutes restriction

Coach Stan Van Gundy said Monday that he’ll take a more measured approach with
Jackson this season after the point guard struggled to work back from tendinitis
in his left knee in 2016-17. While the team stated earlier in September that
Jackson will report to camp at full strength, it appears they’ll exercise
caution, with Van Gundy noting that Jackson fill initially be on a minutes
limit. “We haven’t decided exactly,” Van Gundy said. “Maybe 12 minutes the first
game, then 18, etc.” With that in mind, Jackson becomes an even riskier fantasy
commodity to begin the year, though if he’s able to stay healthy and return to
his 2015-16 form — 18.8 PPG, 6.3 APG, 3.2 RPG — he could be a steal in later
rounds.
