Jarrett Jack

Earning his second straight start, Jack erupted for a season-high 28 points Friday by terrific overall shooting from the floor while also adding a five-tally in each rebounds and assists. The veteran will likely continue to start and garner major minutes at the guard position for the Skyforce moving forward.

Jack recently latched on with the Skyforce, although his season will come to an early end following this unfortunate diagnosis. The 35-year-old will have a long road ahead of him after surgery, so it's unclear at this point whether he'll even choose to come back for another season of professional basketball.

Jack signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract with the Pelicans prior to training camp with the hopes of earning a depth role in their backcourt. The Journeyman failed to make a big enough impression to land on the final roster and will now be left looking for another destination. His most likely landing spot will be somewhere looking for veteran leadership at point guard.

Jack spent the 2017-18 campaign with the Knicks, where he played a surprisingly large role in the backcourt despite some intriguing younger pieces being present on the roster. He finished the year averaging 7.5 points, 5.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds across 25.0 minutes. He wasn't re-signed this offseason by New York and will instead travel to New Orleans to play for the Pelicans during the upcoming campaign. Jack will provide veteran leadership for a team looking to return to the playoffs, but he'll have a very tough time reaching the 25.0 minutes he averaged in New York if he makes the final roster. The Pelicans already have Elfrid Payton, Jrue Holiday, Ian Clark and Frank Jackson in the fold, all of whom should limit Jack's impact.
