[Saba Sports News] Despite a five-game winning streak, the Denver Nuggets are facing some unexpected setbacks. Guard Reggie Jackson was recently added to the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, listed as questionable due to a skin lesion.
The specifics of Jackson’s condition haven’t been disclosed, but it’s rare to see a player sidelined for a skin lesion, which could range from a minor issue like a sunburn or acne to something more significant like a blister or rash.
This incident follows another unusual injury within the team earlier in the week. Forward Aaron Gordon was reported to be recovering from a serious dog bite.
Jackson, who plays a key role off the bench for the Nuggets, has been contributing an average of 12.5 points and 4.4 assists per game this season. He also stepped in as a starter for some games during Jamal Murray’s absence. The team and fans alike are hopeful that his skin issue will resolve quickly, perhaps with simple treatment, allowing him to return to the court soon.
