Jeff Peterson made his first notable offseason transaction as the Charlotte Hornets’ vice president of basketball operations.

The Hornets are acquiring Reggie Jackson and three unprotected second-round picks from Denver, league sources confirmed to The Observer on Thursday. It’s the second time Charlotte has traded for the 34-year-old point guard in the past 16 months.

Jackson was waived by the Hornets in February of 2023 after being picked up in a trade with the L.A. Clippers on February 9, and didn’t appear in a game for the Hornets.
