Stephen Jackson has no regrets about being released from the Spurs, saying, "I wouldn't want me on the team, either." When asked if he had any regrets specifically, Jackson said, "Nope. Got my money," with a big smile. There are several interesting tidbits in the story, including Jackson's revealing that Gregg Popovich wasn't playing Jackson because he felt Danny Green and Manu Ginobili were playing better. It's hard to argue with Popovich's logic. It's not known what Jackson's NBA future is, but he'll almost certainly get a handful of looks during the offseason.

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.

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.

Spurs waived G/F Stephen Jackson.

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 (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 (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 (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 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 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.
