Any lingering hostility between Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Jackson stemming from Wednesday's back-and-forth on social media has seemingly been squashed thanks to Jerry Stackhouse.

The Memphis Grizzlies assistant coach appears to have reached out to at least Jackson to help diffuse the situation, with Jackson thanking the "OG" Stackhouse on his Instagram account Thursday evening.

Jackson took offense to Wiggins' older brother, Nick, tweeting "Hallelujah" in response to reports that Jimmy Butler had formally requested a trade from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

He posted a video to his social media account mocking Wiggins for not having any heart, in which Wiggins later responded by calling Jackson a "bum ass."
