The veteran took himself out of the game against the Los Angeles Clippers at the AT&T Center after sustaining the injury. When he tried to return, he was unable to continue. The injury was later diagnosed as a non-displaced fracture of the proximal phalanx in the little finger of his right hand. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks.
Jackson played in 10 minutes on Monday and was 1-for-3 from the field and had two points and two rebounds.
