Shams: Reggie Jackson to sign with Nuggets following buyout

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, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

ANALYSIS: If you think about it, the Clippers and Nuggets basically exchanged Bones Hyland for Reggie Jackson. Jackson should more or less take over Hyland's responsibilities in the Nuggets' second unit.

Jackson is averaging 10.9 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 41.8% from the field and 35% from three this season and has playoff experience, so this could be a valuable addition.
