Report: Jackson signing with 76ers after Hornets buyout
Veteran point guard Reggie Jackson was waived by the Charlotte Hornets, the team announced.
Jackson plans to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers upon clearing waivers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The floor general played last season with the Denver Nuggets, who traded him to the Hornets on Day 2 of the NBA draft. Jackson, 34, had one year worth $5.3 million left on his deal.
He averaged 10.2 points and 3.8 assists for the Nuggets last season after winning a ring with Denver in 2023.
Jackson holds career averages of 12.6 points and 4.2 assists over 13 seasons in the Association.
The Sixers made the splash of the offseason by signing nine-time All-Star Paul George. George and Jackson played together for the Los Angeles Clippers from 2020-23.
Philadelphia has also added veterans Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon, and Andre Drummond in free agency. The franchise re-signed Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre, Kyle Lowry, and KJ Martin.
