Wizards Waive Reggie Jackson

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 much money after letting him go. Assuming he clears waivers, he’ll be free to sign with anyone for the rest of the season.

The Wizards were able to acquire a 2026 first-round pick from Philadelphia, 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 the Sixers.

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.
