Reggie Jackson Hits Four Triples In Friday's Victory
6 years agoDetroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (groin) went for 14 points, five assists, two rebounds and a steal over 25 minutes in Friday's preseason win against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hit 4-of-12 from the field, including 4-of-9 from behind the 3-point line, while making 2-of-2 from the charity stripe. The good news is that Jackson didn't suffer any setbacks with his groin strain. The bad news is that the Pistons have other mouths to feed at the point with Ish Smith and Jose Calderon, so perhaps Jackson's minutes could be limited early on to preserve him for the long run.

Reggie Jackson Is Probable Tuesday Against the Hornets
4 months ago76ers guard 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
4 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard 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
8 months agoPhiladelphia 76ers point guard 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
9 months agoAccording to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, guard 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.
