Jackson will come off the bench Saturday against the Magic, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Cade Cunningham (ankle) joining the starting five and making his NBA debut, Jackson will presumably be in a bench role for the remainder of the season, barring the occasional spot start. In his two appearances off the bench this season, Jackson saw 17.5 minutes and averaged 5.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
