Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
TORONTO, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The Toronto Raptors Wednesday signed guard Jermaine Jackson, who appeared in 24 games last season. He was the final cut from training camp roster.
The 6-4 Jackson originally was signed by Toronto to a 10-day contract on Jan. 10, 2002. He then was signed to a contract for the remainder of the season on Jan. 30, and averaged 2.4 points, 2.4 assists and 11.7 minutes per contest.
The Raptors are able to add Jackson to their roster after being granted a roster exemption by the NBA under the special hardship rule. The rule allows a team with three players on its injured list to substitute an active player if another player misses a minimum of three straight games because of injury.
Toronto signed center Greg Foster with a previous exemption granted by the NBA on Nov. 6.
Jackson had been playing for the Great Lakes Storm of the Continental Basketball Association.
