The Rockets signed former Boston Celtics guard Demetrius Jackson to a two-way contract Monday.
The 6-foot-1 Jackson was a second-round pick of the Celtics out of Notre Dame in 2016. He played in five games for the Celtics last season, spending the majority of his time with Boston's D-League affiliate the Maine Red Claws.
In 32 D-League games, Jackson averaged 14.8 points, 6 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.
NBA rosters have expanded from 15 to 17 players with the additional spots available for players under two-way contracts. Teams may have up to two players under two-way contracts who will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League (formerly NBA Development League) and not more than 45 days with their NBA team.
