Josh Jackson: Parts ways with Toronto
Rotowire
Jackson was waived by the Raptors on Friday, Josh Lewenberg of TSN.ca reports.
Jackson was waived Friday along with D.J. Wilson and Gabe Brown. Jackson failed to score over two points in his last three preseason games with the Raptors. The 2017 No. 4 pick will hope to find a new home before Opening Night. If not, he could be bound for the G League ranks or could elect to head overseas.
Jackson signed a contract with the Raptors on Wednesday, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.
A lottery pick back in 2017, Jackson hasn't lived up to the billing to date. However, he's still just 25 and will compete in training camp to nab one of the Raptors' final roster spots. He played for two different teams -- the Pistons and the Kings -- during 2021-22 and averaged 6.4 points, 2.8 boards and 1.1 assists over 16.3 minutes per tilt.

Kings' Josh Jackson: Will play Wednesday after all
Rotowire
Jackson (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game at Houston, Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee reports.
It looks like a Rockets reporter jumped the gun and erroneously reported that Jackson and Alex Len (illness) had been ruled out, when in fact that was not the case. While Len could factor into the rotation, Jackson hasn't seen much action since coming over from Detroit at the deadline. The 2017 top-five pick has logged just 18 total minutes of NBA action since Jan. 28.

Rotowire

Kings' Josh Jackson: Gets three minutes in team debut
Rotowire
Jackson (back) missed both of his field-goal attempts and committed a turnover in three minutes of court time Monday in the Kings' 109-85 loss to the Nets.
While he was a member of the Pistons, Jackson had missed time with a back injury before the Kings acquired him Thursday in a four-team deal. Upon reporting to Sacramento, Jackson was able to pass a physical and was cleared to play in advance of the Kings' previous game Saturday, but it wasn't until Monday that he made his team debut. Jackson only saw garbage-time run in the blowout loss and doesn't look like he'll be part of the Sacramento rotation.

Kings' Josh Jackson: Available Saturday
Rotowire
Jackson (back) is available to make his Kings debut Saturday against the Wizards, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Though Jackson is available for his new team, it's not guaranteed that he'll take the court. Even if he plays, it seems unlikely he'll have any more fantasy relevance than he did with the Pistons.

Rotowire
