Former Warriors guard Jarrett Jack is attempting an NBA comeback

0 15

Steph Curry’s former backup is back at it again.

Jarrett Jack is attempting an NBA comeback. The former Golden State Warriors point guard signed today with the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the Miami Heat’s G League affiliate.

He will get his first chance to play on Saturday.

Jack, a 13-year veteran, has not played this season. He last played in 2017-18, when he appeared in 62 games for the New York Knicks, and averaged 7.5 points and 5.6 assists per game.

Warriors fans, of course, remember Jack from his one-year stint with the team during the 2012-13 season. Jack played fairly well during that time, averaging 12.9 points and 5.6 assists per game, while shooting 40.4 percent from three-point range. However, not all the memories are pleasant, as Mark Jackson repeatedly entrusted Jack with late game isolations, even with . . . you know . . . Steph Curry on the team.

Still, it’s great to see him trying to get back into the league, and if he plays well in the G League, an NBA team could sign him for the remainder of the season and the playoffs. Miami would seem to be a contender to do so, as the Heat entered the season with only two point guards: Tyler Johnson, who has since been traded, and Goran Dragic, who has only played in 18 games due to injury.

So if Jack performs well, watch out . . . he could be headed for a 14th NBA season.
