Price per Head: LA Clippers sign free agent Stephen Jackson

On Tuesday, the LA Clippers signed free agent forward Stephen Jackson, who is very well known with price per head services for his talent on the court.

Jackson played with the San Antonio Spurs last season, and price per head services saw that in 55 games he had an average of 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.5 minutes per game. The Spurs waived Jackson on April 27 before the end of the season.

Price per head services saw that over the past couple weeks, injuries to Reggie Bullock, J.J. Redick, and Matt Barnes forced the team to look at options over the weekend in the free agent market, and the first name they were looking for was Jackson.

“I just think he’s a veteran,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said on Monday. “We need him in a pinch. We need him like now and that’s a guy that you can bring in and he can give you something right away with Reggie being out for at least this trip and maybe longer and Matt being out. We don’t have another three right now and he fits that bill for us.”

Bullock will most likely miss two weeks due to a high left ankle sprain. Price per head services also found out that Barnes was expected to miss two weeks after a torn retina in his left eye, and Redick had a tear of his right ulnar collateral ligament and a fracture in a small bone of his right hand, and is set to miss six to eight weeks.

Jackson, 35-years-old, is a 13-year NBA veteran. Pay per head services saw that he played for several teams and appeared in 849 career games with career averages of 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 32.1 minutes.

Price per head services were very happy to learn that Jackson, besides bringing toughness to the team, turns into the first player in the current Clippers roster to win an NBA title. He was a member of the 2003 NBA champion Spurs and appeared in 72 career playoff games, with an average of 13.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33.6 minutes per game.
