New Orleans Hornets guard Bobby Jackson will miss two weeks because of a cracked left rib.
Jackson, 33, suffered the injury during last Tuesday's 94-77 loss to the Toronto Raptors and sat out Friday's 111-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls.

He is averaging 10.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 24.2 minutes in 15 games this season.
Jackson is one of three Hornets starters sidelined with injuries, joining Peja Stojakovic (back spasms) and David West (right forearm strain).
Jackson is a 42.3 per cent shooter as a pro, having averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 22.6 minutes in 571 games (128 starts) over 10 NBA seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies and Hornets.
The Minnesota product was drafted 23rd overall in 1997 by the Seattle SuperSonics, who promptly traded his negotiating rights to Denver for the rights to James Cotton and a second-round draft pick.
