The Philadelphia 76ers signed 13-year veteran guard Reggie Jackson on Tuesday.

Terms were not disclosed but The Philadelphia Inquirer reported it was a one-year deal for $3.3 million.

“Reggie is a playoff-tested veteran who brings leadership and experience to our backcourt,” Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said. “He’s been a dynamic offensive player throughout his 13 seasons in the league.”

Jackson, 34, agreed to a contract buyout last week with the Charlotte Hornets and cleared waivers. The Hornets acquired him and three future second-round draft picks from the Denver Nuggets on July 6 for cash considerations and a 2025 second-round pick.

Jackson averaged 10.2 points and 3.8 assists and shot 35.9 percent from 3-point range playing in all 82 games last season for the Nuggets.

An NBA champion with Denver in 2022-23, Jackson has averaged 12.6 points, 4.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 853 career games (529 starts) with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers and Nuggets.

The Thunder selected Jackson with the 24th overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft.
