George: "Reggie is someone that I'm familiar and comfortable with and to have him there definitely helps... We have an amazing bond off the court. On the court, we had an amazing chemistry and knew how to win together. I'm excited to have Reggie back. He's a life long friend."

Jackson finished this past year with averages of 10.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest while shooting 43.1% from the field and 35.9% from the three-point range in 82 games.
