Jackson contributed 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Cavaliers.
Jackson has been an inconsistent part of Philadelphia's bench this year, appearing in only five of the team's 11 contests. However, the veteran guard tallied a season-high 27 minutes with Tyrese Maxey (hamstring), Paul George (knee) and Joel Embiid (knee) all out. With Maxey (hamstring) potentially sidelined for a significant period, Jackson could continue to receive increased playing time as a point guard option off the bench.

Jackson supplied three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three assists in nine minutes during Saturday's 124-107 loss to Memphis.
Jackson slid into the rotation for just the second time all season, although failed to produce anything of note. Despite knee injuries to both Paul George and Joel Embiid, Jackson has been unable to carve out a consistent role.

Hornets' Reggie Jackson: Dealt to Charlotte
Rotowire
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.

Jackson appeared to be dealing with an ankle injury when heading to the locker room in the third quarter, and he didn't see the court during the final period. Head coach Michael Malone said after the game that Jackson was close to not playing in Game 3, so the coaching staff has had conversations about what to do in case he can't suit up for Saturday's Game 4.

Jackson was spotted with his ankle wrapped in heat as well. If he can't return, then Christian Braun and Justin Holiday should see more minutes off the bench.
