Demetrius Jackson’s 12 months in Philadelphia came to a close on Sunday, when the Sixers waived their reserve point guard and effectively ended his two-way contract. The maximum 45 days in which Jackson could spend in the NBA with the 76ers, rather than the team’s G-League affiliate Delaware Blue Coats, was quickly approaching and a lucrative deal in China awaited him. All's well that ends well on the fringes of the world’s premier basketball league, especially when the team that drafted you three years ago also still pays you almost $93,000 this season.
The Celtics selected Jackson with the 45th pick in 2016.
