Stephen Jackson hyperextended his right at the end of the second quarter and didn?t understand why Larry Brown didn't put him back in the game.

?I respect it, but I mean I played the whole third so I played through the pain,? Jackson said. ?Coach he was looking out for me and didn?t want me to get hurt.?

Jackson will have an MRI on Monday, but he?s sure he will play on Wednesday in the second game of the series.

?Not a chance in hell ? no way,? Jackson said about potentially missing Game 2.

His injury occurred in the final minute of the second quarter. He collided with Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace, then crumpled to the ground in pain
