CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Charlotte Bobcats leading scorer Stephen Jackson(notes) says
he’ll miss a third straight game Tuesday at Cleveland with continued pain in his
left hamstring.
Jackson was unable to practice Monday and says he still has sharp pain every
time he straightens his leg. Jackson, averaging 18.5 points, wouldn’t say he’ll
shut it done for the rest of the season, saying only, “You’ll have to hear that
from somebody else.”
Jackson’s absence has been a blow for the Bobcats’ postseason hopes.
Charlotte remains two games behind Indiana for the last Eastern Conference
playoff spot with six games left after losing to Washington 97-91 on Sunday.
Coach Paul Silas says forward Tyrus Thomas(notes), guard Shaun Livingston(notes) and big
man Eduardo Najera(notes) will also sit out against the Cavaliers with injuries.
