The Los Angeles Clippers got their man after Reggie Jackson agrees to a two-year deal with the Californians. After a terrific 2020/21 season, where he revitalized his career, Jackson is ready to get paid on one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
The point guard took his game to the next level, especially during the 2021 playoff, becoming the second-best player on the team behind Paul George. Despite not making it to the Finals, the Clippers left a big impression on fans last season.
Reggie was really valuable for them, and the team is now rewarding him with a new contract. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports the player is set to ink a two-year, $22 million deal to return to the Clips.

After having such a great season in Los Angeles, Reggie was seen as a top priority for the team’s front office. Fortunately, things worked out for everybody, and now he’s back on the roster.

Jackson averaged 10.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists with the Clippers last season. He recorded multiple 20-PT games in the playoff, demonstrating he was ready to help his team on the big stage. He bet on himself, and this is the result.
