Free-agent point guard Reggie Jackson has agreed to a two-year, $22 million contract to stay with the Clippers. Jackson credited the Clippers with helping to save his career last season.
Reggie Jackson is staying with the team that he said helped save his career by agreeing to a two-year, $22 million deal with the LA Clippers, CAA Basketball agents Aaron Mintz and Erika Ruiz told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The free-agent point guard will be returning for the maximum that the Clippers can pay Jackson under the CBA rules. Jackson revived his career this past season, stepping up offensively and hitting clutch shots to help the Clippers reach their first-ever Western Conference finals. After averaging 10.7 points and shooting 43.3% from 3-point range in the regular season, the 10-year veteran emerged as one of the Clippers’ playoff stars. With Kawhi Leonard out for the Clippers’ final eight playoff games with a partially torn ACL, Jackson helped Paul George shoulder the offensive load, averaging 17.8 points and shooting 40.
