Ironi Ness Ziona of the Israeli Basketball Premier League announced on December 17, 2025, that it has signed forward Jackson Rowe, who became a free agent after the Golden State Warriors waived him earlier this month.
Rowe, 28, will turn 29 in January. The Canadian played collegiately at Cal State Fullerton from 2016 to 2020 before beginning a professional career that included stops in France, Sweden, Canada, and Germany. He joined the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G League affiliate, for the 2023-24 season.
After establishing himself in Santa Cruz, Rowe earned a two-way contract with Golden State in January 2025. He appeared in six NBA games last season and opened the 2025-26 campaign on the Warriors’ roster but did not see any playing time this fall. Golden State waived him two weeks ago to free a two-way slot for guard LJ Cryer.
Rowe averaged 16.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 33.0 minutes over 36 games for Santa Cruz in 2024-25, shooting 51.5% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range. In five G League outings this season, he posted 13.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game with a .441/.238/.714 shooting line.
Ironi Ness Ziona has started its domestic campaign 3-6. Rowe joins a roster that already features former NBA players Damion Lee, Udoka Azubuike, and Isaiah Whitehead.
