The maximal operator S⁎ for the spherical summation operator (or disc multiplier) $S_R$ associated with the Jacobi transform through the defining relation $\widehat{S_{R}f}\left(\lambda \right)=1_{\left|\lambda \right|\le R}f̂\left(t\right)$ for a function f on ℝ is shown to be bounded from $L^p(ℝ₊,d\mu )$ into $L^p(ℝ,d\mu )+L²(ℝ,d\mu )$ for (4α + 4)/(2α + 3) < p ≤ 2. Moreover S⁎ is bounded from $L^{p₀,1}(ℝ₊,d\mu )$ into $L^{p₀,\infty }(ℝ,d\mu )+L²(ℝ,d\mu )$. In particular ${S_{R}f\left(t\right)}_{R>0}$ converges almost everywhere towards f, for $f\in L^p(ℝ₊,d\mu )$, whenever (4α + 4)/(2α + 3) < p ≤ 2.
