The preseason may have just begun but the Oklahoma City Thunder are already fighting off injuries.

In the Thunder’s 118-109 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Friday night, Reggie Jackson went down with a wrist injury. According to Darnell Mayberry of The Oklahoman, the severity of the injury is unknown.

"The severity of the injury is unknown, but more details should emerge after Jackson gets re-evaluated Saturday in Oklahoma City.Jackson was unavailable for comment after the game.“I don’t know what Reggie’s injury is,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said after the game. “We’ll just see how he feels tomorrow and we’ll go from there.“You can’t worry about that. It’s unfortunate. You don’t want any of your guys hurt — early in the season, middle of the season, late in the season, like we had last year. It doesn’t matter. You don’t want anybody hurt. But it’s part of the game. You have to deal with it and adapt with what you have.”"

Jackson will be eager to get back on the court. Not only is he trying to become a regular starter but he is looking for a new contract.

He put up 11.1 points, 3.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game while shooting 46.6% from the floor, 39.6% from beyond the arc and 88.6% from the charity stripe in the postseason. He’s averaged 8.0 points, 2.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 43.1% from the field, 29.2% from three and 87.7% from the free throw line in his three-year career.
