Toronto Raptors sign former Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr.
Andre Jackson Jr. will compete for a roster spot, and Toronto can keep his G League rights if it waives him.
On Wednesday, the Toronto Raptors signed former Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. to an Exhibit 10 deal, adding depth ahead of training camp next month.
The Milwaukee Bucks moved on from Jackson as the team reshaped its roster this offseason, including trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat; Jackson averaged 2.4 points and 1.5 rebounds over 48 games last season.
Drafted 36th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, the former University of Connecticut Huskies player stands 6-6 with a wingspan just under 6-10, offering defensive versatility across multiple positions.
The Exhibit 10 deal provides a one-year, non-guaranteed salary, meaning Jackson faces an uphill battle to secure a roster spot during training camp; Toronto retains his G League rights if waived.
At 24 years old, the Raptors view Jackson as a development prospect who could earn a two-way contract or full roster spot, as Toronto must maintain at least 14 players throughout the season.
