Reggie Jackson makes long-awaited return and scores 22 off bench

Reggie Jackson returned from a 42-game absence on Wednesday against the Kings and churned out 22 points in a limited 19 minutes. He shot 8-of-14, going 3-of-7 from behind the arc and sinking all three free throws. He also had three rebounds, four assists, and two steals.
Fantasy Impact:
Jackson didn't need to shake off any rust as his sank his first attempt of the game, his trademark floater through traffic. He scored from all over the court and looked to be at full health even though his minutes were cut short. It will be interesting to see how coach Dwane Casey splits point guard duties between Jackson and Derrick Rose. They spent some time on the court together tonight and looked to be perfectly in sync which was good to see. Jackson was dropped by a lot of fantasy owners during his hiatus, so pick him up if you still can. Whether he regains his starting role or serves in relief off the bench, he is one of the Pistons' most valuable weapons and will be a fantasy asset going forward.
