76ers Trade Reggie Jackson for Jared Butler and Draft Picks in Deadline Moves

The Philadelphia 76ers focus on youth and draft assets, acquiring guard Jared Butler and four second-round picks from the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers traded veteran guard Reggie Jackson and a 2026 first-round pick to the Washington Wizards for 24-year-old guard Jared Butler and four future second-round picks.
Jared Butler has shown promise this season, averaging 6.9 points and 2.6 assists in 11.3 minutes per game for the Wizards, and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
The 76ers also traded forward KJ Martin and two second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons for cash considerations in a cost-cutting move.
Philadelphia now has three open roster spots, allowing them to explore the buyout market or evaluate younger players like recent 10-day signee Chuma Okeke.
The moves signal a shift toward building for the future, as injuries and a sub-.500 record make a deep playoff run unlikely this season.
