Justin Jackson, who played one game for the Boston Celtics last season, joined their Summer League team on Monday and scored 10 points in a 111–109 victory against another one of his former teams, the Milwaukee Bucks.
Jackson signed a 10-day contract last season with Boston but only played one game because of COVID-19 protocols. He spent most of last season with the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks’ G League affiliate, and had two stints with the Phoenix Suns.
Jackson, a member of UNC’s 2017 national championship team, played six games with the Suns, notching eight points against the Clippers on Jan. 6.
In his Summer League game Monday, Jackson was 2 of 8 from 3-point range but made all four free throw attempts, pulled down four rebounds and dished out two assists to finish +5.
Earlier this month, Jackson helped the United States World Cup qualifying Team advance to the second round of the Americas Qualifiers.
The news wasn’t as good for Garrison Brooks, who didn’t play (coach’s decision) in New York’s 88–77 Monday loss to Portland.
