Just transferred to the Hornets, Reggie Jackson should nevertheless not wear the turquoise blue tunic. Indeed, the bespectacled leader should sign with the Nuggets shortly.
A reinforcement of weight in the rotation of the Nuggets!
Just transferred from the Clippers to the Hornets in Mason Plumlee’s trade, Reggie Jackson should never play in Charlotte’s jersey, at least not this year. The leader would thus be on the verge of signing with the Nuggets and will join Colorado once he has reached an agreement with the North Carolina franchise, as indicated by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Guard Reggie Jackson is finalizing a contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets and plans to sign with the No. 1 West seed Denver Nuggets after he clears waivers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

In other words, once he is officially on the list of cut players, Mr June should join the number 1 in the Western Conference. Free players have until March 1 to sign for their new teams if they want to make the playoffs, so Jackson’s signing to Denver is coming soon. If Phoenix was a candidate time to host number 24 of the 2011 Draft, the Nuggets project has apparently been more convincing with the leader. This season, Reggie Jackson is averaging 10.9 points with 41.8% shooting and 3 assists, a bit light considering what he had shown us in LA for two years but solid all the same for the Nuggets, who are getting even stronger after registering the arrival of Thomas Bryant. Mike Singer from Denver Post adds that the player was at the top of the list.
Reported two days ago he was atop their wish list. Deal brings another established ball handler to Denver to help bolster bench unit. https://t.co/spPjK4Tm9i

At 32, friend Reggie has established himself as a solid NBA point guard through the seasons. Drafted to the Thunder in 2011, Jackson has always made his mark wherever he has gone. His arrival at the Nuggets should therefore do the greatest good to the band at Nikola Jokic. Able to play on positions 1 and 2, Jackson is, despite what we say, an upgrade compared to Bones Hyland, above all bringing more defense and a little control off the bench to the Nuggets. Note also that the leader knows the house well for having played in high school in Colorado, in Palmer Springs, and he had also been voted best young basketball player in the championship in 2008, in other words that the region is successful for him.
So the Nuggets are filling their gap at point guard, something they’ve probably been actively looking for since Bones Hyland was out of the rotation. The Nuggets get Jackson a 10-plus-year NBA veteran who has appeared in 69 Playoff games in his career and therefore has plenty of big-game experience. A good operation for the Nuggets for the month of April!
