Guard Bobby Jackson confirmed on Sunday that his abdominal strain will keep him from appearing in the playoffs. "This thing is serious," he told the Sacramento Bee. "I'm not sure that everybody around here believes this injury is as serious as it is." Jackson has been bothered by the strain since February. Two specialists told Jackson that the injury takes three months to properly heal. "I've been hearing around here that it's two-to three-week injury," he continued. "Everybody around here knows how much I love to play and want to play. But I'd rather miss the playoffs than miss a whole year of basketball. So that's where it's at."

The Kings aren't the same without the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, but they are also not the only Western powerhouse with injury problems at the moment.

It's gonna hurt the Kings' chances yet again. Last year, C-Webb and now Bobby Jackson. Kings had their chance in 2002 when they were healthy.

Kings starting point guard Mike Bibby suffered a strained right hip muscle at the end of practice Friday, and his status for today's playoff game in Dallas is in question.

Details of how Bibby became injured were unavailable Friday night. Whether he plays today will be a game-time decision.

 

However, Kings assistant director of media relations Darrin May said Bibby told him, "There's no way I'm missing this game."

 

If Bibby can't start, Doug Christie likely will get the nod at point guard with Anthony Peeler starting at Christie's shooting-guard spot.

Hopefully, it's nothing serious. Kings always seem to have injuries when it comes to the post season.
