Jackson has played

Jackson has played over nine minutes total the past games. He sat out game because of an NBA suspension for verbally abusing an official and Bucks coach Scott Skiles benched him for others.After spending most of last week sitting on the bench, Stephen Jackson is not positive where he stands with the Milwaukee Bucks.
"I'm supporting my teammates the way that I have always been," Jackson said Monday. "I'm going to respect the coaches, I'll respect everybody around. But at the finish of the day, everybody knows I need to play. That is not a secret."

Jackson says he'll stay prepared to play whenever his name is called.
The Bucks signed the veteran as a free agent in the offseason, hoping he could provide some offense. Jackson was a regular starter for the Bucks until he missed a team shootaround in New York last month and was benched for game.
Jackson would not say if he had requested a trade.
Skiles was ill and did not attend Monday's practice. Assistant Jim Boylan said coaches will think about putting Jackson back in the regular rotation.
"That's something that will be discussed," Boylan said. "Nothing lasts forever, in this league."
Boylan said Jackson has remained upbeat.
"Steve's been great," Boylan said. "He was outstanding today in practice, his attitude's been positive. So he doesn't need to do anything more for me, I do know that. Since all of this has gone on, he is handled himself well. So I have no complaints."
