Reggie Jackson and the Denver Nuggets have agreed to a two-year, $10.25 million deal.

Jackson figures to play a bigger role for the Nuggets following the departure of Bruce Brown Jr. to the Indiana Pacers.
The Los Angeles Lakers are increasingly confident of their chances of signing Bruce Brown Jr. for the non-taxpayer midlevel exception starting at $12.4 million.
Brown could sign for more than the MLE with a team that has cap space.
The Denver Nuggets can only offer Brown a contract starting at $7.8 million.
The Los Angeles Lakers are registering "significant interest" in signing Bruce Brown, sources told Mike Singer of The Denver Post.
The Lakers could offer Brown the full mid-level exception worth $12.3 million, with the Nuggets only able to offer Brown $7.8 million next season.

Bruce Brown Jr. has declined his $6.8 million player option for the 23-24 season with the Denver Nuggets to become a free agent.
Brown outplayed his contract and can sign for up to $7.8 million this offseason with the Nuggets. The Nuggets would have his Early Bird rights next offseason and could sign him for close to the full mid-level exception that he can get elsewhere.
The Denver Nuggets are reportedly trying to trade into the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft, sources told Mike Singer of the Denver Post.
Singer adds that the team is attempting to use its 2024 first-round pick acquired from Oklahoma City to make a deal.
Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets averaged 13.08 million viewers on ABC, representing the highest viewership in four years.
The NBA Finals averaged 11.64 million viewers on ABC, a slight decrease from last year.
The playoffs averaged 5.47 million viewers across ABC, ESPN, and TNT, making it the most-watched playoffs in five years.
At the 2022 NBA draft, the Denver Nuggets considered trading up with the Washington Wizards for the No. 10 pick as they targeted Jalen Williams.
Williams was selected 12th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder and finished second in Rookie of the Year voting.
The Nuggets acquired Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from the Wizards and also used the No. 21 pick on Christian Braun. Braun became a rotation wing for the Nuggets in his own right as a rookie.
Amidst the Denver Nuggets celebrating their 2023 NBA Finals victory, Bruce Brown was asked about his upcoming free agency. Brown made it clear he'd like to stick with the champs.
“I want to stay,” Brown said. “Look at us. Celebrating the Finals, winning the Finals. This is what you come to the NBA for, to win at the highest level.”
Brown has a $6.8 million player option for next season. If he opts out, the most the Nuggets can pay Brown is $7.8 million by using his non-Bird rights. Brown is expected to have offers for at least the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception, which starts at $12.2 million. Brown has said his fit with Denver matters a lot.
“It’s a perfect fit,” Brown said. “And money is not everything. The money will come. So, I’m not worried about that right now.”
