Lakers' Demetrius Jackson: Signs Exhibit 10 deal with Lakers
Rotowire
Jackson has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson chipped in 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 10 minutes during Sunday's 129-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Jackson finished with a career high in scoring while recording season highs in rebounds and minutes. Jackson has appeared in only five games thus far this season, and the main reason he earned a season high minute total in this one likely had more to do with the lopsided score than anything else.

76ers' Demetrius Jackson: Inks two-way with Sixers
Rotowire
Jackson signed a two-way contract with the 76ers on Monday, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.
Jackson began the year on a two-way contract with the Rockets, but his deal was terminated earlier this month, and he recently completed a separate, 10-day contract with the team. The Sixers will now bring in the former Notre Dame star on a two-way deal of their own, and he'll take the roster spot of James Michael McAdoo, who was released Monday afternoon. Jackson appeared in 12 games for the Rockets, logging 63 total minutes, most of which came in garbage time situations.
Jackson had his two-way contract terminated by the Rockets on Saturday, but he will sign a 10-day deal and play in the G-League during that stretch, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Jackson has played just 63 minutes for the Rockets this season across 12 games. Despite his two-way deal being terminated and signing a 10-day deal, Feigen doesn't believe that Jackson is "in [the] team's plans", so it wouldn't be surprising if he ultimately gets let go.
