Free-agent guard Reggie Jackson will be back with the Los Angeles Clippers after reaching an agreement on a two-year and $22 million deal, according to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN.
Free agent G Reggie Jackson plans to sign a two-year, $22M deal to return to the Los Angeles Clippers as soon as allowable at 6 PM ET, agents Aaron Mintz and Erika Ruiz of @CAA_Basketball tell ESPN. The deal is the maximum LA can pay Jackson under CBA rules.

Jackson spent the last season with the Clippers on a minimum deal and was expecting a big payday after his performances during the playoffs. When given a spot in the starting lineup, he had a huge impact on the team offense with 18.9 points and 3.5 assists while shooting 42% from the three-point line.
In the postseason, the Clippers were eliminated, without Kawhi Leonard, by the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals. During the offseason, their main focus was to retain the role players that helped them get there and that has been achieved.
The one question that remains for the roster to be complete is the mystery man himself, Kawhi Leonard. Since he declined his player option and entered free agency there’s been very little reported but, according to Marc Stein, he is expected to re-sign with the Clippers.
Available unrestricted free agents include:
Kawhi Leonard (BUT expected to re-sign with the Clippers)
DeMar DeRozan
Carmelo Anthony
Patty Mills
Dennis Schröder
Kelly Oubre
DeMarcus Cousins
Danny Green
Andre Iguodala
Enes Kanter
