The Wizards are placing veteran guard Reggie Jackson on waivers after acquiring him from the Sixers earlier today, the team announced (via Twitter).
Jackson is on a one-year, minimum-salary contract, so Washington won’t be on the hook for any dead money beyond this season after letting him go. Assuming he clears waivers, he’ll be free to sign with anyone except Philadelphia for the rest of the season.
The Wizards were able to acquire a 2026 first-round pick from the Sixers, which was their motivation for the deal. They now have a roster opening, along with a vacant two-way slot after sending Jared Butler to Philadelphia.
The 34-year-old Jackson signed with Philadelphia as a free agent last summer, but he averaged just 4.4 points and 1.5 assists in 31 games while playing 12.4 minutes per night. Still, he may find some interest on the open market from teams looking for veteran backcourt help.
FIRE MOREY…dude is stealing money from the sixers
Sell the team Harris you cheap jerk. Go back to spending your time with the Commanders and Devils, as everyone hates your sorry butt in Philadelphia.
Sixers showed this deadline they have already given up on this season and will do everything in their power to get a top 6 pick (so it wont convey to okc)
It makes sense, because losing a lottery pick in the 2025 draft would be awful.
Back to Clippers for Reggie
Almost a lock to make it to GSW, who need to fill out their roster now after the Jimmy trade
Almost a maybe. Let’s see who else falls through the cracks in the next couple of days. I would say Reggie is a candidate. Not sure about a lock.
Celtics could use Reggie.
