Jackson Rowe is headed overseas.
The former Warriors forward has signed with Ironi Ness Ziona of Israel’s top domestic league, the team announced. Rowe became a free agent earlier this month after Golden State waived him to open a two-way roster spot.
Rowe, who turns 29 in January, has taken the long road as a pro. After playing college ball at Cal State Fullerton from 2016-20, he spent time bouncing around Europe and North America, with stops in France, Sweden, Canada and Germany before landing with the Santa Cruz Warriors during the 2023-24 season.
That stint proved to be a turning point. Rowe carved out a steady role with Santa Cruz, earned a two-way deal with Golden State in January 2025 and appeared in six NBA games last season. He opened this year with the Warriors as well, but didn’t see action before being waived earlier this month.
Rowe was productive in the G League last season, averaging 16.3 points and 7.9 rebounds while shooting better than 39 percent from three. Ironi Ness Ziona is off to a 3-6 start, so the hope is that Rowe can help stabilize things.
He’ll join a roster that already includes former NBA players Damion Lee, Udoka Azubuike and Isaiah Whitehead.
