Stephen Jackson opened up about his dispute with Gregg Popovich which ultimately led to his release.
"We had a disagreement," he said. "He wanted me to agree to players being better than me, and I didn’t agree. I’ve been in the NBA a long time, so it’s just something I didn’t agree with and something I have no control over." Maybe Jackson hasn't watched himself play recently, but he was stinking it up and those who played over him deservedly did so. Jackson shot 37.3 percent from the field this season, including 27.1 percent from down town. Apr 19 - 10:19 AM

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Sources tell the San Antonio Express-News there was no defining showdown between Stephen Jackson and Gregg Popovich prior to the Spurs releasing Jackson.

Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowki reported Friday that player and coach had been "sparring" throughout the season over Captain Jack's role with the Spurs. The Express-News seconded the report, saying Jackson simply wanted more minutes. Jackson is free to sign with any team but is not eligible to play in the postseason.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Spurs waived G/F Stephen Jackson.

With just a week before the playoffs start, it's a surprise. According to Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowki, Jackson and coach Gregg Popovich have been "sparring" over Jax's role throughout the season. There must have been a straw that broke the camel's back sometime in the last week, and the organization now reportedly feels that he's having a bad influence on the younger players. Captain Jack is now eligible to be picked up by any team, but he is not eligible to be on a playoff roster.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson didn't travel with the Spurs to Denver and will not play on Wednesday.

He's getting over an ankle sprain and the Spurs apparently don't want to push him right now, although he did play on Saturday.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson (sprained right ankle) returned on Saturday, as expected, scoring nine points with one 3-pointer, two rebounds and one assist.

He looked fine in 19 minutes off the bench, but he won't have fantasy value while Danny Green (four points) and Kawhi Leonard (23 points, six rebounds) are both healthy.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson (ankle) is considered probable to play Saturday night.

Jackson's injury is considered minor by the Spurs, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he ends up playing tonight. He will be a boost to the Spurs' depth but likely won't play enough minutes to make an impact on your fantasy lineup.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson (ankle) is without a timetable to return.

The good news is that Jackson's sprain is being deemed as "minor," so we can't imagine he'll be forced to miss too much time. Without Captain Jack available, Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green should pick up the slack.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson won't play Thursday night but the Spurs say his ankle sprain is "mild."

Jackson injured the ankle during Wednesday's game and it's the same ankle he hurt during a February game against the Knicks. Jackson wasn't particularly optimistic about the injury Wednesday night, admitted he shouldn't have tried to play through the pain. The good news is that it's not a high or severe sprain, so hopefully Jackson won't miss more than a game or two. We should know more about his status Friday afternoon. Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green will pick up the slack in Jackson's absence.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson was pessimistic about his ankle following his injury in Wednesday's win.

Jackson will not play on Thursday, and it's the same ankle he injured previously. "It's the same ankle as the New York game, and it happened the same way," he said. "I tried to play through it, and I shouldn't have done that." Without Jackson, the Spurs will rely on guys like Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green to step up.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson needs an MRI after his ankle was stepped on during Wednesday's game, and he will not travel for Thursday's game in Oklahoma City.

Jackson had a brace on his ankle after the game and he could be looking at a few missed games, which would shift more minutes to Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard (knee) and maybe Gary Neal. We should have his MRI results on Thursday.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson faceplanted with two points in 19 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Magic.

Jackson was a popular spot-start with Kawhi Leonard (knee) resting, but he started off ice cold and couldn't shoot his way out of it. Captain Jack ended up 1-of-9 from the field, giving way to a red-hot Gary Neal for much of the second half. With Leonard expected back Thursday, streamers can move on.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson got his fifth start of the season on Monday, scoring 12 points with seven boards, three assists, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers.

It was a nice game for Jackson and he did an admirable job filling in for Kawhi Leonard (knee). If Leonard gets more rest for his bum knee, Captain Jack will be worth a look in some deeper formats.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson started in place of Kawhi Leonard (knee) on Tuesday and had 14 points, five rebounds, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on 5-of-10 shooting in 26 minutes.

It's nice to know he can still play, but don't get too excited. He should go back to being irrelevant once Leonard is back in action, which should be sooner than later.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Gregg Popovich confirmed that Stephen Jackson's ankle "felt better" on Sunday.

"He's improving," he said. "He needs that. It's hard to play when your ankle's not right." Jackson played 26 minutes on Sunday, so he should be good to go moving forward.

Stephen Jackson - G/F - Spurs

Stephen Jackson (ankle) returned to action vs. the Pistons on Sunday with six points, eight rebounds, six assists and three turnovers in 26 minutes.

Jax was doubtful to play but he laced them up for his short-handed squad, and he's worth a look in deep leagues (with the caveat that the Spurs only play twice this week). This game distills the Spurs' kitchen-sink approach with Tony Parker out approximately four weeks -- nobody played more than 27 minutes, and 14 different Spurs were in the scoring column.
