Officials reviewed the foul to see if it was a flagrant, but it was ruled a common foul.
Jackson returned to the court during halftime warmups and was back in the game for the start of the third quarter. He had 13 points and two rebounds in the first half.
Memphis has dealt with a seemingly never-ending injury crisis this season. Ja Morant is out for the season, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart have missed significant time with injuries and are currently out. Luke Kennard and Derrick Rose returned from injuries in time for Friday's game.
