Stephen Jackson returned to the San Antonio Spurs’ lineup on Monday against the New Orleans Hornets after missing a game with a sprained ankle.

His injury was one of the more bizarre ones in the NBA. Jackson sprained his ankle when he fell over a waitress who was serving New York mayor Michael Bloomberg on the sideline at Madison Square Garden during the Spurs game against the Knicks.

However, during a press conference earlier this week, Bloomberg insists he was more than just an innocent bystander.

“He didn’t fall on her,” Bloomberg revealed. “He came close and I just pushed him a little bit.”
