Spurs’ Jackson falls on waitress, sprains ankle
NEW YORK (AP) — Spurs forward Stephen Jackson left San Antonio’s game against the Knicks after spraining his right ankle when he crashed into a waitress working the sideline in front of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Jackson was hurt in the first quarter Thursday night when he shot a 3-pointer from the corner. The shot missed and he stepped backward out of bounds and onto the waitress, who was kneeling in front of courtside seats.
It was unclear if the waitress was serving Bloomberg, who was seen eating a box of popcorn shortly after the play.
Jackson played just 2 minutes, 50 seconds, going 0-for-2 from the field, both three-point attempts. Without Jackson, who was averaging 7.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists this season, the Knicks pummeled the Spurs 100-83.
