Reggie Jackson Will Make His Return on Wednesday
Reggie Jackson (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has only played in two games this season, so fantasy owners should expect Jackson to be on a minutes limit here. Bruce Brown Jr. and Derrick Rose could lose some playing time with Jackson back in the mix. He's worth monitoring in most formats, but he'll likely be eased back into the rotation.

Reggie Jackson Is Probable Tuesday Against the Hornets
Reggie Jackson (knee) is probable for Tuesday's NBA Emirates Cup matchup in Charlotte. Jackson missed Saturday's game in Detroit but had been playing significant minutes off the bench before the injury. Jackson had seven points and matched his season-high with four assists in 12 minutes against the Clippers. With Kyle Lowry (hip) also probable, the Sixers' backcourt will be crowded for this matchup with Charlotte, making both veterans hard to count on for fantasy purposes.

Reggie Jackson Unavailable On Saturday
Reggie Jackson (knee) will sit out Saturday's game against Detroit. The veteran is dealing with knee soreness, exiting the lineup after playing in each of the past four games. Jackson has been limited to 12.6 minutes in nine appearances for the 76ers this season, averaging 4.4 points and 2.1 assists. His primary value these days comes from his experience and veteran presence. Eric Gordon and Ricky Council IV might see more action without Jackson, but they aren't good fantasy options.

Reggie Jackson Eager To Start Life Under Nick Nurse
Reggie Jackson is excited to link up with Nick Nurse in the City of Brotherly Love and isn't overly concerned about his playing time, despite facing a lot of competition for minutes at the point guard position. "Since he was with the Raptors and became a head coach, kind of seeing how his team played, it was very interesting," Jackson told Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer. "Obviously, they played Lowry and (point guard) Fred VanVleet … how well they played together. They played long lineups where you had (forwards) Kawhi (Leonard), you had Pascal (Siakam), you had (Chris) Boucher. Shoot, he played (post players) Serge (Ibaka) and (Marc) Gasol at times together." Jackson finds himself as the third point guard in Philadelphia behind Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry. However, he could still play a significant part in the rotation if Nurse continues to roll with lineups featuring multiple point guards.

Reggie Jackson Plans To Sign With Philadelphia
Reggie Jackson agreed to a contract buyout with the Hornets. Upon clearing waivers, he's expected to ink a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 34-year-old appeared in 82 games for the Nuggets in 2023-24, averaging 10.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.9 boards while shooting 35.9% from deep. Jackson has plenty of experience and will add value to a team aspiring to win an NBA title. However, he probably won't do much for fantasy managers unless Tyrese Maxey is out of the lineup.
