Josh Jackson (back) joining Kings at trade deadline
The Sacramento Kings are acquiring guard/forward Josh Jackson (back) from the Detroit Pistons in a four-team trade.
What It Means:
The Kings are also yielding Donte DiVincenzo and Trey Lyles while trading away Marvin Bagley III. Jackson will be competing with DiVincenzo, Justin Holiday, Harrison Barnes, and Jeremy Lamb for minutes on the wing, so he could have a tough time earning consistent playing time. Jackson missed the last seven games with a back injury.
Jackson averaged 18.1 minutes over 39 games for the Pistons this season. numberFire's models project Jackson to play 13.5 minutes per game for the Kings over the rest of the year.
