"Stephen Jackson said after Monday's practice he's ready to play and wants to play.

But he said he can't control his playing time.

The veteran guard has played 9 minutes in the last four games, all coming in the first quarter of Wednesday's home game against Miami. Jackson did not play against Detroit in either game last week or against Chicago on Saturday night as the Bucks lost to the Bulls, 113-90.

"It is what it is," Jackson said. "I'm coming to work every day. If I'm called, I'll be ready, point blank. I can't get into what if or what I want to do.

"If he calls me, I'll be ready to play.""
