ORLANDO, Fla. — The Charlotte Bobcats
say an MRI on Stephen Jackson's hypextended left knee shows a small bone bruise but no structural damage.
The Bobcats swingman said Monday he felt "way sorer" but expects to start in Game 2 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. He sat out practice and had an ice wrap around the knee.
Jackson was injured when teammate Gerald Wallace dove for a loose ball and collided with him just before the first half of Game 1 ended Sunday. The Bobcats lost 98-89.
Jackson returned to score 10 points in the second half, finishing with 18 for the game. But he sat out the final minutes with the injury, pleading with coach Larry Brown to return in the game.
