Coach Scott Skiles also said veteran Stephen Jackson did not make the trip due to a right hamstring injury.

Jackson has been unhappy with his reduced role and said recently he expected a change in the near future, hinting he could be traded before the March 15 deadline.

“I’m hopeful we can turn the whole thing around and he can be part of that,” Skiles said. “We’ve had many conversations. I also read that he hadn’t been talked to and things like that. I’ll let other people judge that stuff.”
