The Philadelphia 76ers signed guard Pierre Jackson on Wednesday.
Terms were not released, but the Philadelphia Inquirer reported the deal is a partially guaranteed four-year contract.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Jackson was originally the 42nd overall pick out of Baylor by Philadelphia in the 2013 NBA Draft. His rights were traded to New Orleans along with Jrue Holiday in exchange for the rights to Nerlens Noel in what turned out to be the 10th overall pick in the 2014 draft. During the 2014 draft, Jackson’s rights were traded back to the Sixers in exchange for the rights to Russ Smith, who was the 47th overall pick that year.
Jackson ruptured his right Achilles’ tendon in last summer’s Orlando Pro Summer League.
The Las Vegas native returned to action this summer, playing for Philadelphia in the NBA Summer League in his hometown. He is averaging 12 points while shooting 50 percent from 3-point range.
During the 2013-14 season, Jackson played for the Idaho Stampede in the NBA Development League, averaging 29.1 points, 6.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals.
