Reggie Jackson Leads Team In Shot Attempts Against Nets
Reggie Jackson currently sports his lowest field goal percentage since his rookie season with a 35.7 percent mark on 14 shots per game. That trend was apparent on Wednesday against Brooklyn, as Jackson took a team-high 23 shots, connecting on just eight of them for a 34.8 percent mark. He added four rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a block as well. With a Saturday meeting with the Sixers, who are holding opponents to the seventh-lowest field goal percentage in the NBA this year, Jackson could see that pattern continue, making him a tough option for fantasy owners needing production in their percentages.

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.
