Reggie Jackson

Jackson has averaged 10.9 points and 3.5 assists per game this season for Los Angeles.

[Clippers](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/clippers/)(31-27) sit in sixth place in the Western Conference. [Los Angeles](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/lakers/). Considering the fact that Plumlee cost the Clippers Jackson, it’s a consolidation move that balances the roster. He may be the most impactful addition for the Clippers overall ahead of the buyout market. However, the concern that does matter is Plumlee’s defense, as he doesn’t block shots and has been a part of poor defenses lately. He was starting for the Hornets, and he has the ability to pass the ball, rebound and finish inside.

The Charlotte Hornets and guard Reggie Jackson will "likely" agree to a contract buyout after the team.

[Chris Haynes](https://bleacherreport.com/videos/364023-chris-haynes-trade-deadline-recap) of Bleacher Report (h/t [Suns Are Better](https://twitter.com/SunsAreBetter/status/1623781659890880514)) said during B/R's live trade deadline coverage Thursday that the Phoenix Suns would be interested in acquiring Jackson if the Hornets bought out his contract. But Jackson could easily make an impact for a championship-contending team. All signs point to Jackson's parting ways with the Hornets, who are second-to-last in the Eastern Conference standings. Jackson will be among top point guards on the open market and will prioritize contending. Hornets set to play younger players down stretch. The Charlotte Hornets and guard Reggie Jackson are likely to agree to a contract buyout, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

The Los Angeles Clippers acquired big man Mason Plumlee from Charlotte in exchange for shooting guard Reggie Jackson, multiple outlets reported Thursday.

As the dust settled from a chaotic NBA trade deadline, the Denver Nuggets were left with an open roster spot they could now look to fill on the buyout ...

Would the Nuggets welcome him back as a boost to Denver’s bench? Jackson’s been with the Clippers for parts of the past four seasons and was traded to Charlotte for former Nugget center Mason Plumlee. But in auditing their roster following the deadline, it’s obvious the Nuggets don’t have much depth in the backcourt. The Nuggets could’ve used Bryant as they put together an underwhelming effort in Orlando on Thursday night, falling 115-104 to the Magic. [Want more Nuggets news? Beyond Murray, Bruce Brown isn’t a natural point guard (though he sometimes plays it), and Ish Smith, while reliable, is probably only needed in the postseason in emergency scenarios.

Obviously not sure where Reggie Jackson or John Wall will end up. But only one NBA team hasn't faced the Clippers yet this season: the Memphis Grizzlies. And ...

The Suns are also considered a probable suitor for Jackson, who will likely be bought out by the Hornets.

[Will Barton](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bartowi01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-10_bbr), who is [reportedly](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/wizards-working-on-buyout-for-will-barton.html) working on a buyout with the Wizards, won’t be possible, since NBA rules prohibit a team from re-signing a player it traded during the offseason if he’s waived by his new team during the subsequent season. Charlotte is [considered likely](https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/02/buyout-agreement-likely-for-hornets-reggie-jackson.html) to buy out the veteran guard. Singer also points to [Danny Green](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenda02.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-10_bbr) as a wing who might be a nice fit for the Nuggets, though there’s no indication yet that Houston will buy out Green after acquiring him from the Grizzlies. As a result of that move, Denver is in the market for a backout player to fill out their 15-man roster, and according to [Mike Singer of The Denver Post](https://www.denverpost.com/2023/02/09/nuggets-buyout-candidates-reggie-jackson/), veteran guard [Reggie Jackson](https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jacksre01.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.hoopsrumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-02-10_bbr) is near the top of the team’s wish list.
