OKC Thunder news: Justin Jackson waived
The Oklahoma City Thunder officially waived Justin Jackson Friday.
The Thunder acquired Jackson from the Boston Celtics in the Mike Muscala trade on Thursday. With the Thunder also signing two-way player Eugene Omoruyi to a full-time deal, they needed to create a roster spot.
The trade garnered the Thunder two future second-round picks from the Celtics in the 2023 and 2029 drafts. Jackson previously played for the Thunder in the 2020-21 season.
With Omoruyi now on the full-time roster, that opens up a two-way spot besides Lindy Waters III.
Jackson was owed $2.1 million this season. In 23 games with the Celtics, Jackson averaged 0.9 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists.
