Overview
- The Raptors announced the signing Wednesday and multiple outlets report the contract is an Exhibit-10 training-camp deal that can be converted to a G League path with a bonus for joining Raptors 905.
- Reports describe Jackson as an ultra-athletic, long wing with defensive upside whose inconsistent shooting has limited his offensive impact at the NBA level.
- Jackson spent three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, appearing in 172 regular-season games with 52 starts and averaging roughly 2.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.
- Toronto’s move is part of cautious roster building while a proposed trade to reacquire Kawhi Leonard is on hold as the NBA investigates possible salary-cap circumvention by the Los Angeles Clippers, which creates cap and roster uncertainty for the team.
- Jackson must earn a roster spot in camp by improving his scoring and three-point accuracy, and if he goes to Raptors 905 the move would give him a clear developmental route back to the NBA during the 2026–27 season.
