Jackson was hurt in the third quarter, when he attempted to throw a jump pass to Reggie Bullock. He landed strangely, causing his right ankle to roll.
Before the injury, Jackson was averaging 14.5 points this season with 44.6 percent shooting and 5.5 assists per game.
Detroit will likely utilize Ish Smith and Langston Galloway for guard duties, while Avery Bradley and Luke Kennard will be used in more versatile roles.
