PORTLAND, Ore. – Former Idaho Stampede standout Luke Jackson is back in the NBA. The Portland Trail Blazers signed the Oregon native Wednesday. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Jackson played with the Idaho Stampede of the NBA's Development League in each of the past two seasons. Last year, he joined the team late in the season and was instrumental in helping push the Stampede to the franchise's first-ever D-League Championship.

Jackson (6-7, 215), a four-year NBA veteran, has appeared in 73 career games, averaging 3.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 9.9 minutes.

The 26-year-old forward enjoyed his best season in 2007-08 with Miami, garnering career-highs of 5.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 16.3 minutes. Originally drafted with the 10th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft by Cleveland, Jackson played his first two seasons with the Cavaliers before splitting time during the 2006-07 season with the L.A. Clippers and Toronto Raptors. In December of 2007, Jackson signed with Miami.

Jackson, a former University of Oregon All-American, finished his four-year career with the Ducks as one of only two players in Pac-10 history to amass more than 1,900 points, 700 rebounds and 400 assists. Jackson remains the only player in Oregon history to rank in the Top-10 in nine categories.
