Fishing has emerged as a favorite pastime for many of the players in between practices and meals. But if you care to fish, go early; the property has only 14 fishing poles available to borrow from a hut outside of the players’ hotel. On Tuesday night, an employee manning the rentals told ESPN that he had only one pole left because so many players had signed out the equipment overnight. The hotel is ordering more poles to accommodate players’ requests. On Thursday, teammates George, Montrezl Harrell and Reggie Jackson fished from the wooden bridge that passes over Lago Dorado in search of bass.

Reggie Jackson, one of the newest members of the roster, recalled Beverley’s actions during Friday’s Zoom press conference: “We’re all locked up now in quarantine, can’t leave your room, but it’s probably 2:00 a.m. and all we get is a ‘Yoooo! Yoooo!’ Everybody is like, what is going on. Bev is just yelling through walls, making sure everybody is good. It’s the first day, he’s just checking, everybody opening their doors saying what’s up, looked at each other, and that made, I guess, the first part of the 24 hours of lockdown even better, just knowing that your teammates were there with you. “That’s just something very simple, but the guy is constant energy, a lot of intangibles… He’s great with the team.”
Jovan Buha: Reggie Jackson said he shot around at Paul George’s second LA home, which was primarily unoccupied, during quarantine to try to stay as sharp as possible.
Ohm Youngmisuk: Montrezl Harrell might be the leader in the NBA clubhouse of what he brought with him to Orlando. Reggie Jackson says Montrezl somehow managed to bring a “portable sauna” with him while Lou Williams has a personal studio.

If nothing else at a time when the Clippers have more questions than answers amid the NBA’s hiatus because of COVID-19, the team is confident in at least one thing to be true. Should the season resume, the same roster that had been dogged by injuries since last summer is on track to be the healthiest it has been. “The Kawhi [Leonard] we’ll see will be in phenomenal shape,” coach Doc Rivers said, adding that Paul George “is another guy that’s goig to be in phenomenal shape. Reggie [Jackson], who was injured when we got him, will now be healthy.”
But that combination has not always led him to click within locker rooms, most notably in Oklahoma City. Five years after he was derided by former teammates for the way they felt he handled his final season with the Thunder, Jackson still feels the effect on his reputation. “I think there’s a misconception about who I am and that’s always followed me,” he said. “I really don’t care. A lot of people think I’m probably egotistical and an … . I’m just quiet and I come in and do what I do.”
“It’s media and it’s everybody else and it’s fans who paint the picture of you,” he said. “I laugh. It’s very similar to when I was watching wrestling growing up. Some guys, you’re a fan favorite; some guys are the villain. You grow a little older you might actually become liking the villain and might hate the good guy. So it’s all perception. “Other than that, as long as the other 14 guys in the locker room know what I’m about and this organization knows what I’m about that’s all that I really care about. I can’t please you.”
So far with the Clippers, he has averaged 20 minutes per game, which is great if he keeps them but there is no guarantee he is in their rotation during the playoffs. If Jackson proves he can be a contributor for a contender, like he was in Oklahoma City, that would be more impressive to potential suitors than filling up the stat sheet on a lottery team. If his tenure with the Clippers is successful, they are limited in re-signing him to either a minimum contract or via what will likely be the taxpayer mid-level exception (T-MLE). The T-MLE is currently projected at $6 million, which could be on the lower end of offers he will receive this summer.

Farbod Esnaashari: Reggie Jackson on having a good friend in Paul George on the team: “It helps a lot. I have a guy in my corner, and a guy I can lean on. Someone I can talk to. …He’s one of the stars here. I already know his game. I’ve watched him a lot throughout our career.”

Bobby Marks: Cap hit on the Reggie Jackson buyout/waiver in Detroit is: 🏀2019/20: $17,286,956 Jackson gave back a flat $800K
19 Feb
Fresh off of securing a buyout with Detroit, veteran guard Reggie Jackson intends to sign with the Clippers once he clears waivers Thursday afternoon, a person with knowledge of Jackson’s plans confirmed Tuesday.
For the Clippers, Jackson’s expected signing would come with another benefit — keeping him away from the Lakers, who also hold interest in signing him to bolster their backcourt. The Clippers also acquired another Lakers target, New York forward Marcus Morris, ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Jackson, however, had eyes on the Clippers because of his close friendship with forward Paul George.
Rod Beard: At this rate, Bruce Brown will be the last player announced in pregame introductions. Luke Kennard (!), who was rumored in trade talks before the deadline, is now the longest-tenured #Pistons player.
After agreeing to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons, guard Reggie Jackson plans to sign with the LA Clippers upon clearing waivers, league sources told ESPN. Jackson had become the highest-impact player available in the buyout marketplace and had been a target of the Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers.
Jackson, 29, will play a significant role on the Clippers’ second unit, where coach Doc Rivers is anxious to implement his playmaking and scoring abilities into a roster that could be the NBA’s deepest.
Jackson was completing the final season of a five-year, $80 million contract with the Pistons. The Pistons and Jackson’s agent, Aaron Mintz of CAA Sports, completed the buyout terms earlier Tuesday before reaching an agreement with the Clippers on Tuesday afternoon.

Adrian Wojnarowski: Guard Reggie Jackson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Detroit Pistons and plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers upon clearing waivers, league sources tell ESPN.
Clippers eyeing Reggie Jackson
Marc Stein: Detroit’s Reggie Jackson is still assessing whether to pursue a buyout or complete his Pistons contract, league sources say, but the Clippers have emerged as a likely suitor if Jackson goes that route The Clips, of course, also have interest in prime Laker target Darren Collison
The Pistons continue to be ready to move off of Andre Drummond, as Detroit begins (another) rebuild. Interest in Drummond, as you might imagine, has been downright cool. His $27 million salary is a problem, as is a growing feeling that Drummond could opt into a nearly $29 million salary next season. As strong a rebounder as Drummond is—and Detroit’s guards make him look infinitely worse on the perimeter than he can be—there are concerns among some executives about his passion for the game. That’s unnerving. Reggie Jackson can be had if a team is willing to surrender an asset for an injury plagued player in the final year of his contract.
James Edwards III: Markieff Morris is OUT tonight, Reggie Jackson is a game-time decision.
James Edwards III: #Pistons’ Reggie Jackson is OUT tonight against Brooklyn. Drummond is probable and Bruce Brown is available.
James Edwards III: FINAL: #Pistons 127, #Kings 106. Reggie Jackson: 22 points in his return Christian Wood: 23 points Derrick Rose: 22 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds Detroit moves to 17-27
Reggie Jackson returns from injury
Keith Langlois: Reggie Jackson back tonight, Derrick Rose starts
Rod Beard: It seems the #Pistons are more optimistic that Reggie Jackson will return to the lineup in a couple weeks and be able to contribute this season. That will help with managing Derrick Rose’s minutes and add another scorer to the starting lineup.
Rod Beard: #Pistons Reggie Jackson saw a specialist in L.A. and is making progress but there is no timeframe on a return as he is continuing toward full basketball activities.
Rod Beard: #Pistons Blake Griffin is doubtful for tomorrow at #Clippers. Markieff Morris, Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson remain out.
Vincent Ellis: #Pistons coach Dwane Casey says Reggie Jackson (back) will likely be re-evaluated for a potential return after Christmas. Has been out since the the first two games of the season. He’s been doing non-contract stuff for several weeks.
The seven-year NBA veteran has dealt with more than his just physical rehabilitation during his downtime. Bullock’s sister Keiosha Moore was shot and murdered in Baltimore in November. Another sister, Mia Henderson, also was killed in his hometown in 2014. “I’m sorry, but I’m really here to talk about basketball right now. That’s my main focus,” Bullock said. “I’m excited to be back out here with my guys. That’s a family issue that we dealt with. And I’m just excited to be back with the Knicks.”
