Jackson, who agreed to a contract buyout with the Hornets on Tuesday, plans to sign with the 76ers upon clearing waivers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The Nuggets picked up Jackson's $5.25 million player option at the end of June but flipped the veteran point guard to Charlotte for salary-dumping purposes. In Philadelphia, Jackson will join Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon as veteran backcourt options behind Tyrese Maxey.

The Hornets waived Jackson on Tuesday, Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports. This was an expected move for the Hornets with Jackson looking to join a contender. Once Jackson clears waivers, he'll be free to sign with any team other than the Nuggets. The veteran is expected to have a sizable market after a strong 2023-24 season in Denver.

Jackson, along with three second-round picks, was traded to the Hornets from the Nuggets on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Denver is effectively salary-dumping the veteran guard to Charlotte to create financial flexibility. It's possible the Hornets will attempt to ship Jackson off elsewhere, though he would add a veteran presence to a team looking to transition from rebuilding to being competitive. If he remains with Charlotte, Jackson will compete for backup guard minutes.
