After spending several years on an NBA roster on a two-way contract, the Indiana Pacers rewarded Quenton Jackson by signing Quenton Jackson to a standard three-year deal, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Jackson began the season on a two-way contract with the Pacers and the team was impressed with his performance.

With the signing of Quenton Jackson to a regular contract, the Pacers’ roster has now reached 15 standard contracts. The team now has an open two-way contract space, with rookie forward Taillon Peters and second-year guard Ethan Thompson also on two-way contracts.

Jackson has played a key role for the Pacers this season, appearing in a career-best 30 games, including 10 starts, in just over 17 minutes per game. He averaged career-highs of 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists while splitting 48.9 percent shooting from the field, 40.5 percent shooting from the 3-point line and 81 percent shooting from the free-throw line. His field goal percentage and 3-point percentage are also career highs.

After going undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft, Jackson signed with the Washington Wizards during training camp. He did not make the final roster, but later returned to the team on a two-way contract for the 2022–23 season. Jackson’s next stop in the NBA was with the Chicago Bulls ahead of the 2023–24 season, but he was waived before the start of the year.

He was playing in the G League when the Pacers first signed him to a two-way contract during the second half of the 2023–24 season. The Pacers re-signed him to a two-way contract later that year, and he has been with the team ever since.

Last summer, Stade de Reims allowed Cedric Kypré to join Ipswich Town on a season-long loan deal.

Before their arrival at Portman Road, Sport Witness Covered Claims Sunderland want to sign him.

Serious interest was shown from Regis Le Bris, but it is unclear why the Black Cats could not get a final deal done. Ipswich Town were successful in their attempt to sign the centre-back.

Ivory Coast International launched its championship for Tractor Boys in September. He was in and out of the playing eleven until November and has been a regular since then.

Kipre has played 2,259 minutes in 26 matches for Kieran McKenna in all competitions and scored three goals.

Africa Foot Now there is a report on Ipswich Town’s plans for the 29-year-old’s future after this season.

Ipswich Town decide on defender

According to reports, the Championship side have secured a €4.5m purchase option. The former West Bromwich Albion man’s performances have convinced Ipswich Town to exercise the clause to extend his stay.

Therefore, Africa Foot now claim the player is ‘on the verge of extending his stay’ at McKenna’s side. The outlet further added that the English club will offer the defender a three-year contract.

Stade de Reims were relegated from Ligue 1 the previous season, and this convinced Kipre to leave them for Ipswich Town.

The report suggests that discussions are ongoing between the two clubs to finalize a permanent transfer. Negotiations may take place to sort out details or work out payment terms related to the transfer.

Ipswich Town now sit third in the Championship, level on points with fourth-placed Hull City and one point ahead of fifth-placed Millwall.

As the Miami Heat focused on restarting the season after the All-Star break, some business was done with the team, giving an undrafted standout a standard contract. Although the Heat are dealing with an inconsistent season, some standout things have happened, one of which is a two-way player in Myron Gardner who has been rewarded for his efforts.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Gardner and Miami have agreed to a standard three-year contract because he has played well as a two-way player. This contract now fills Miami’s 15th roster spot, which could be the maximum spot for a team, although a two-way opening has been cleared.

The other two-way player spots have been filled by Vladislav Goldin and Jahmir Young, as Gardner has recently seen expanded minutes under head coach Erik Spoelstra, especially due to some injuries the team has suffered. Gardner has started four times for the team, averaging 11.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while shooting 55.2 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from three-point range.

In addition to his ability on the court, Gardner is known for the physicality, personality and energy he brings to the Heat, with Norman Powell explaining how beneficial this has been to him.

“Myron is a character. I love Myron. He’s always high energy, high octane,” Powell told ClutchPoints on January 18. “He’s always hitting and hitting you; it’s always a positive energy, positive light that comes from him. I’m encouraging everybody. Everybody around him is laughing and joking. But when he steps out there, he’s 125%, 150% every time. And we need that.”

Heat’s Bam Adebayo needs teammates like Myron Gardner

As Gardner continues to anchor the Heat throughout the remainder of the season, he is doing the same with the team’s G League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Active on the glass and making his presence felt, the 24-year-old has already earned respect from Miami, with captain Bam Adebayo emphasizing his important role.

“You need teammates like him, like throw him in the game, and he’ll play as hard as he can. But when Myron checks into the game, you feel a difference right away,” Adebayo said on Jan. 21.

Bam Adebayo on the “kid energy” that Myron Gardner has after a standout performance:

At any rate, Gardner wants to be a part of helping the Heat turn their season around, which has them at 29-27, placing them in eighth place in the Eastern Conference as their next game is on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.
