Not playing Monday
Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis
Jackson continues to be sidelined by a right hamstring strain, which has prevented him from playing in a regular-season game since Nov. 3 against the Bucks. He has progressed enough in his recovery to ramp up his practice activity, which gives him a chance to return Friday against the 76ers.

Active in practice
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Jackson (hamstring) did some work at Sunday's practice, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis
The 27-year-old guard hasn't played since Nov. 3 due to a right hamstring strain, though he appears to be trending in the right direction. While Dopirak relayed that Jackson will "probably" remain on the shelf against the Kings on Monday, he should be considered day-to-day moving forward. If he's ultimately ruled out for Monday, his next chance to return will come Friday against the 76ers.
