Jackson was the 24th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft.
He has spent part of 14 seasons with the Detroit Pistons, OKC Thunder, LA Clippers, Denver Nuggets (and 76ers).
His career averages are 12.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest while shooting 42.3% from the field and 34.5% from the three-point range in 884 games.
The 2023 NBA Champion could be a good signing for a contender (after he clears waivers).
The Wizards have had a tough season as they are the 15th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 9-41 record in 50 games.
They are in the middle of a three-game winning streak (and 3-7 over their last ten).
