Brian A. Westerholt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — The Detroit Pistons acquired Reggie Jackson from the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a three-team deal that also included the Utah Jazz.
The Thunder will receive forward Kyle Singler and guard D.J. Augistin from the Pistons and forward Steve Novak and center Enes Kanter from the Jazz. The Jazz get center Kendrick Perkins, forward Grant Jerrett, draft rights to Tibor Pleiss, a protected future first-rounder from the Thunder, and a Pistons second-round pick.
The 24-year-old Jackson has had his minutes cut ever since the Thunder acquired Dion Waiters in January. That caused Jackson’s agent to request a trade.
When Jackson heard the new he tweeted, “Crying tears of joy #godisgreat.”
Jackson is averaging 28 minutes, 12.8 points, four rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.
