The Lakers, who own the second overall pick in next Thursday's (June 22nd) NBA Draft, will work Jackson out for a second time on Tuesday.

Just a few days ago, the Lakers worked out Jackson in Sacramento.

Another report circulated that the Lakers apparently promised Jackson they would take him.

Furthermore, Jackson has cancelled a workout with the Celtics -- who own the first overall pick.
