Jackson to Ukraine: Former KU forward Darnell Jackson of the Sacramento Kings has signed with BC Donetsk, a pro team in Ukraine, according to sportnando.net. It is not known whether Jackson will have an out-clause should the NBA lockout end. He was made an unrestricted free agent when Sacramento declined to offer him a qualifying contract offer prior to the lockout.
