The Denver Nuggets are looking to free up salary cap space and have traded Reggie Jackson to the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets also received three second-round draft picks in 2025, 2029 and 2030.
The move comes days after Jackson accepted his $5.25 million player option, leaving him a signed player for next season.
The trade is driven by the Nuggets’ desire to keep Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The veteran forward will reportedly decline his $15.4 million player option for next season with Denver to become a free agent.
Last season, Jackson appeared in all 82 games, started 23 and scored 10.2 points and 3.8 assists in 22.2 minutes per game. In the postseason he averaged just 3.5 points and 1.0 assist in 9.8 minutes.
Jackson was selected in the first round of the 2011 draft (24th overall) out of Boston College by the Thunder and spent three and a half seasons in Oklahoma City. He subsequently played for the Detroit Pistons (2014–15 to 2019–20) and the Los Angeles Clippers (2019–20 to 2022–23) before being traded to Denver in February 2023.
In 853 NBA games (529 starts), Jackson is averaging 12.6 points and 4.2 assists.
