LAS VEGAS - If you look at the highs and lows of Pierre Jackson's short NBA life too quickly, you might get the bends. He was selected 42nd overall by the 76ers two years ago, only to be traded to the New Orleans Pelicans in the deal that got the Sixers Nerlens Noel. He spent the season in the NBA Development League, averaging 29.1 points a game. He then was brought back by the Sixers after his lone season and joined their Orlando Summer League team. Seven minutes into his first game, he ruptured his Achilles' tendon on a non-contact play.
