Bobby Jackson suffered a setback during his recovery from a rib injury last week. He is now not expected back until after the first of the year.
Jackson said Hornets rookie Marcus Vinicius accidentally ran into him during a team workout and caused a significant amount of pain to his ribs.
"Hopefully, it's not that big of a setback,? Jackson said on Friday. "Hopefully, it's just a bruise and no swelling will flare up. But you can never tell with these type of injuries.?
