Jordan Jerrell Sibert (born August 1, 1992) is a professional basketball athlete from the United States. His collegiate career included playing for both the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Dayton Flyers.

High school career

Sibert attended Princeton High School, located in Sharonville, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. During his junior year, he averaged 13.3 points per game and improved to 18.7 points per game as a senior. That year, he led his team to a 19–5 record and advanced to the regional semifinals. His outstanding performance earned him Ohio’s Gatorade Player of the Year award as well as First Team All-Ohio recognition from the Associated Press. Rated as the seventh-best shooting guard in the class of 2010 by Rivals.com, Sibert committed to play for Ohio State.

College career

In his sophomore season at Ohio State during the 2011–12 campaign, Sibert averaged 11.4 minutes, 3.0 points, and 1.4 rebounds while contributing to a Final Four team. However, his minutes decreased as the season went on, prompting him to transfer to the Dayton Flyers after that year due to limited playing time. Ohio State coach Thad Matta cited Sibert’s diminished role as a result of inadequate shooting and defensive effort.

At Dayton, Sibert led the squad in scoring during his junior year with an average of 12.2 points per game, shooting 42.6% from beyond the arc. He reached double-digit scoring in 24 games and played a key role in Dayton’s run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament, including an 18-point effort in their Sweet 16 victory over Stanford.

In his senior season, Sibert averaged 16.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, two assists, and 1.7 steals per contest, earning First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors. Dayton finished with a 25–8 record and secured an NCAA Tournament berth on the final day of selection, advancing to the Sweet 16 once more. Over just two seasons at Dayton, Sibert amassed 1,030 points and stands seventh in school history with 163 three-pointers made.

Professional career

After not being selected in the 2015 NBA draft, Sibert participated with the Orlando Magic during the Orlando Summer League, where he posted averages of 11.3 points, three rebounds, and 1.7 assists across three games. He signed with Orlando on September 24, 2015 but was waived on October 19 following five preseason appearances. On October 31, he joined the Erie BayHawks of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player.

On July 19, 2016, Sibert inked a contract with Greek club PAOK Thessaloniki.

In August 2017, after being picked by the newly established Erie BayHawks in the NBA G League expansion draft, Sibert chose instead to sign with German team Mitteldeutscher BC, where he averaged 12.2 points and 2.6 rebounds per game. In March 2018, he transferred to Skyliners Frankfurt.

Sibert returned to Erie BayHawks’ training camp roster in October 2018. On February 20, 2019, he secured a 10-day contract with the Atlanta Hawks. Following this stint, he rejoined Erie on March 3. He signed again with Atlanta for training camp in October 2019 but was waived on October 18 and subsequently added to the roster of the College Park Skyhawks. On January 12, 2020, Sibert recorded a season-high of 35 points during a victory against Raptors 905, concluding that season with an average of 13.9 points per game.

On February 24, 2022, Sibert was traded to the Wisconsin Herd.

In November of that year, Sibert returned to Greece by signing with PAOK for the remainder of the season as an injury replacement. Across 21 league games, he averaged 6.2 points and grabbed 1.7 rebounds while playing approximately 14 minutes per contest.

On August 17, 2023, Sibert agreed to terms with Greek side Karditsa.
