Jackson (groin) will miss Tuesday's preseason opener against the Wizards, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Analysis:

Jackson has been bothered since the summer by the injury, and will need more time off to heal up. He's one of four point guards that will be on the bench with injuries Tuesday, leaving Isaiah Canaan and Scottie Wilbekin as the only healthy players capable of running the offense.
