Wizards trade Jared Butler to 76ers for a first-round pick
Briefly

The Washington Wizards have traded guard Jared Butler and four second-round picks to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Reggie Jackson and a future 2026 first-round pick. The 76ers receive Jared Butler, who performed well lately, including a notable 26-point game. Washington, which had a surplus of 18 second-round picks, leveraged this to secure a future first-rounder that may be the least favorable among Oklahoma City, Houston, and the LA Clippers. Reggie Jackson's status remains uncertain as the Wizards look to potentially reroute or waive him before the deadline.
