Andrew Lopez: Frank Jackson’s contract for 2019-20 will become fully guaranteed as Pels have no plans to move on from the young guard, sources say. Pels like what they have in Frank and have built the summer league squad around him. Team looking for him to be a leader in Vegas.
As for Davis himself, he is in wait-and-see mode now and simply going about his workout regimen with fellow Pelicans players such as Holiday, Frank Jackson and Stanley Johnson. Griffin and Holiday spent time with each other in Los Angeles as well, league sources said, as Griffin continues to build strong rapports throughout his roster. Holiday is a cornerstone for the Pelicans, a two-way guard who has shouldered a leadership role for the franchise.
“Since 1994, Cleveland has shared countless unforgettable moments at this arena,” Cavaliers Chairman and Quicken Loans Founder and Chairman Dan Gilbert said. “From hosting world-class music acts to multiple NBA Finals games, the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse has been the epicenter of entertainment in Cleveland for decades. Today marks the beginning of the next chapter in the evolution of this incredible facility, as not just one of the world’s premier sports and entertainment venues, but a hub of technology that is leading the charge in innovation, efficiency and fan experience.” The announcement was made Tuesday afternoon by Gilbert, Quicken Loans CEO Jay Farner, Cavaliers and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse CEO Len Komoroski and Cavaliers General Manager Koby Altman. They were joined by Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish.
Jim Eichenhofer: Some #Pelicans injury updates: Miller likely out for season; Jackson status is TBD, hopeful he can clear concussion protocol soon enough to play again this season; Moore probably out for season. Anthony Davis (back) likely to be a game-time decision Sunday vs. Lakers
A day after Ashton Adamson and her Century High School girls basketball teammates completed an undefeated season with a 4A state championship, the sophomore got an extra reward. Adamson received a phone call from NBA player Frank Jackson, who congratulated her on the season’s success.
Jackson, a rookie on the New Orleans Pelicans who prepped at Lone Peak High in Highland, Utah, and Adamson had a mutual contact, who helped set up the connection. Adamson said her conversation with Jackson lasted around 20 minutes and covered her individual accomplishments, as well as her team’s — plus some advice on how to perfect her craft.
Over his last eight games, the rookie is averaging 14.3 points and 4.4 rebounds — including back-to-back 20-point outings over the weekend — while shooting 52 percent from the field and 37 percent from deep. Jackson’s scoring responsibilities have only increased with star guard Jrue Holiday sidelined due to an abdominal strain, but he’s still managed to remain mostly efficient with his offensive output — a rarity for players his age and size. “I think he’s learned angles and finishing and things like that,” Gentry said. “There’s some things he’s still got to work on, but I think everyone can see that he’s made improvements.”
Eric Koreen: Frank Jackson will start for Holiday. Moore also out for Pelicans.
Scott Kushner: Frank Jackson (ankle) said he’s fine. He expects to play vs NYK.
Jim Eichenhofer: Also, via @PelicansPR guard Frank Jackson (right ankle sprain) will not return to game vs. Hawks. He’s going to be held out for precautionary reasons. It’s a mild sprain
Jim Eichenhofer: Frank Jackson on participating in his first #NBA practice (not counting summer league), after missing all of ’17-18: “Honestly, I had to stop and just kind of smile (and say to myself), ‘I’m here.’ I’ve been through a lot. It just feels really good to play basketball again.”
Jim Eichenhofer: Dell Demps on Frank Jackson (13 pts in 13 minutes prior to left ankle sprain) in summer league: “We were disappointed he was injured in the first game. He gave us a little taste. But he’s a gritty guy. It was good to see a little bit of it, but wish we could’ve seen more.”
Jim Eichenhofer: #Pelicans summer head coach Kevin Hanson expressing optimism about Frank Jackson (out 2-4 weeks with left ankle sprain, after he had 13 pts in 13 mins pre-injury Friday): “Obviously he’s a little bummed he’s out, but we all saw what he can do in a short amount of time.”
The New Orleans Pelicans announced today that guard Frank Jackson has been diagnosed with a left ankle sprain. An MRI taken today and reviewed by Pelicans Director of Medical Services Dr. Misty Suri confirmed the extent of the injury. Jackson will miss the remainder of the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League 2018. The estimated timetable for return is 2-4 weeks.
Jim Eichenhofer: #Pelicans summer coach Kevin Hanson on Frank Jackson prior to ankle sprain: “He looked really good. (Toronto’s defense) couldn’t keep him in front of them. It was really, really impressive to watch, actually… I liked what he was doing, the way he was moving and attacking.”
Jim Eichenhofer: Frank Jackson had to be taken to the locker room after driving to the basket but landing awkwardly on a Toronto player’s foot. Looked like a bad sprain. Ugh
Scott Kushner: Frank Jackson is allowed to play two consecutive days at a time, on a 25 minutes restriction, so he sat out yesterday’s practice but will play today and tomorrow. The restriction is expected to grow closer to 30 mins next week.

Jim Eichenhofer: #Pelicans summer head coach Kevin Hanson on Frank Jackson: “Super explosive, looks really good. His rhythm will probably be a little off (at first), but we’re going to try to get it there quickly…being able to guard the ball, he can be an elite defender in this league, I think”

Jim Eichenhofer: Dell Demps on #Pelicans young players: “We’re excited about Frank Jackson moving forward. You saw flashes of Cheick Diallo this year. We’re hoping those guys can really be impact players for next year. The potential is there, the work ethic is there.”

Scott Kushner: Frank Jackson will not play in summer league due to foot surgery. Will be ready for training camp. #Pelicans
Jake Fischer: The Pelicans have traded the No. 40 pick and cash for the No. 31 pick and the right to draft Frank Jackson, according to a league source.
Frank Jackson has been traveling to visit various teams with picks (or the potential to acquire picks) in the high teens and 20s, a source told Sporting News. Atlanta, with the No. 19 pick, had Jackson in for an interview, as did the Knicks, who are in the market to obtain picks later in the first round.
Duke’s Frank Jackson, a well-regarded point guard in the 2017 NBA draft class, underwent right foot surgery and is expected to be fully recovered sometime in July.
The expected recovery process also leaves open the possibility that Jackson could be playing again by the NBA summer league in early July, but a full return to basketball activity is expected by the end of that month. NBA training camps begin in late September.
The Hawks were assigned 12 players to interview at the recently completed NBA Scouting Combine. There were 67 draft-eligible players at the combine in Chicago where many took part in drills and scrimmages. NBA teams are assigned players for individual interviews. The Hawks interviewed: Jarrett Allen, Texas, Center; Jawun Evans, Oklahoma State, Point Guard; John Collins, Wake Forest, Power Forward; T.J. Leaf, UCLA, Power Forward; Frank Jackson, Duke, Point Guard; Monte Morris, Iowa State, Point Guard; Harry Giles, Duke, Center; Dillon Brooks, Oregon, Small Forward; Donovan Mitchell, Louisville, Shooting Guard; Dwayne Bacon, Florida State, Small Forward; Caleb Swanigan, Purdue, Power Forward; Justin Patton, Creighton, Center.
