Thrives against former team Jordan closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT) and seven rebounds in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 126-121 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Jordan came into the contest averaging just 3.6 points and 5.5 boards as a member of the 76ers, but he exceeded both of those marks Wednesday despite playing only 14 minutes. The veteran may have had extra motivation since the Lakers signed him in the offseason but cut ties with him at the end of February. Statistically, this was Jordan's second-best performance during his time with Philadelphia, trailing only the 10-point, nine-rebound effort he put forth against another former team -- the Brooklyn Nets -- on March 10.

Impact Jordan cleared waivers and signed with the 76ers on Thursday, but he'll have to wait until Saturday to debut for his new team.

He probably won't see a massive uptick in production, but there's a good chance he'll have control over the primary backup center role to Joel Embiid.

Impact Jordan dusted off the cobwebs Sunday, making his first appearance in more than three weeks. His fortunes this season really do sum up where the Lakers are at right now, battling for a spot in the play-in tournament. Obviously, Jordan is not even close to being a fantasy target, even in the deepest of formats.

Jordan didn't play as a coach's decision the previous six games, and he'll likely have a minimal role Sunday with Davis and Dwight Howard available.
