Bobby Jackson, who had been starting for the Sacramento Kings at point guard, suffered a broken cheekbone in a recent game and will have to undergo surgery. Following the procedure, the Kings will know whether or not Jackson will be able to play again this season.
Since the February, Jackson had emerged as a fantasy relevant. He had been getting good minutes and producing decent numbers across the board.
With Jackson sidelined, expect Beno Udrih to get most of the minutes at point guard. Udrih has started most of the games for the Kings this year at point guard but missed time recently due to an ankle strain.
In the first game without Jackson, the Kings opted to start Francisco Garcia at point guard. If that alignment continues, Garcia’s value will increase tremendously.
As for Jackson, he’s certainly a player you can waive at this point. With Sacramento having nothing to play for, Jackson will likely not be a major factor again this season.
