The Rockets have terminated their two-way contract with guard Demetrius Jackson, a person with knowledge of the deal said.
Jackson will sign a 10-day contract with the Rockets, but is not expected to join the team during that period. The Rockets plan to have Jackson remain with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and to play in the G League Showcase, the individual with knowledge of the Rockets’ plans said.
Jackson played in 12 games with the Rockets, averaging 4.6 points. He had used most of his 45 days permitted with the team before the Rockets would have had to keep him in the G League or convert his two-way contract to a standard NBA contract.
