Isaiah Jackson News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Gets starts sans Turner Jackson will start Modnay's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Myles Turner (hamstrings) and Jalen Smith (heel) out, Jackson will draw his first start of the season. He's started 27 games over the previous two campaigns, so it's a role Jackson is somewhat familiar with. Jackson has been on a tear over his last five appearances, averaging 12.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals in 17.2 minutes.

Leads bench in season-high outing Jackson closed Thursday's 128-119 win over the Bucks with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes.

Impact Jackson led all bench players in Thursday's game in scoring while setting a season-high mark and notching his first double digit point total of the year. Jackson has hauled in five or more rebounds in five gams this season, posting five or more points in three of those appearances.

Available vs. Miami Jackson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Heat.

Impact Jackson was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to an upper respiratory infection, but he's been cleared to play. Over his last two appearances, he's averaged 5.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

Questionable for Thursday Jackson is questionable for Thursday's game against Miami due to an upper respiratory infection.

Impact Jackson has played double-digit minutes in five of the Pacers' last six matchups, averaging 5.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available Thursday due to his illness, but Obi Toppin and Myles Turner could see a few additional minutes if Jackson sits out.

Limited in loss Monday Jackson closed with two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 10 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Jackson remained in the rotation Monday, although only played 11 minutes in the loss. To this point, he has been used sparingly by the Pacers, playing in just nine of their 16 games. He can be an elite source of blocks if you manage to stream him in at the right time. However, knowing when he is going to get playing time is anyone's guess.

Isaiah Jackson Skies For Epic Block vs. San Antonio Spurs | Indiana Pacers

Tallies four blocks in defeat Jackson provided seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 155-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Although the Pacers struggled to keep up with Boston on Wednesday, Jackson was productive on the defensive side of the ball with four blocks, matching the fourth-highest total of his career. Despite his defensive success Wednesday, the 21-year-old hasn't been a consistent part of Indiana's rotation early in the year and has struggled to find a role in closer matchups.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Team option exercised The Pacers exercised the fourth-year team option on Jackson's rookie-scale contract Friday.

Impact Jackson appeared in 63 matchups for the Pacers last year and averaged 7.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 21-year-old handle a similar role for the team this year, and he'll now be under contract with Indiana through the 2024-25 season.

Cleared to suit up Jackson (head) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Jackson has been upgraded from questionable to available and will presumably start at center with Myles Turner (back) and Jalen Smith (knee) sidelined. Over his previous 11 starts, Jackson has averaged 11.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 24.9 minutes per game.

APRIL 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Adds questionable tag for finale Jackson is considered questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale due to a head contusion.

Impact Jackson neared a season high with 29 minutes in Friday's game versus the Pistons, but he may not have escaped the contest unscathed. It remains to be seen if he will don the uniform Sunday, and the team's other prominent big men, Myles Turner (ankle) and Jalen Smith (knee), are considered questionable as well, so there are plenty of factors to consider in terms of Jackson's fantasy value in the season finale.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong performance Friday Jackson provided 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 122-115 loss to Detroit.

Impact Jackson delivered a noteworthy performance despite the loss, continuing what has been a productive couple of weeks to end the season. He has now played at least 20 minutes in seven of the past eight games, providing steady contributions on both ends of the floor. While his per-minute upside remains valid, it is hard to see him playing enough next season to be anything more than a spot-streamer whenever Myles Turner (back) misses time.

APRIL 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for double digits off bench Jackson notched 13 points (4-4 FG, 5-8 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 121-117 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Despite dropping out of the starting unit and seeing a lighter workload than he had in the past four games, Jackson worked efficiently Friday. He had his way on the inside, converting all four of his shot attempts and earning eight free-throw attempts, one short of his season high. Jackson should continue to see his fair share of minutes with Myles Turner (back) potentially sidelined for the season, but Jalen Smith posted a double-double in a starting role Friday and could continue to claim a healthier workload than Jackson over the final four regular-season contests.

Moves to bench Jackson isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Thunder, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Jalen Smith will replace Jackson in the starting lineup Friday. Jackson is averaging 6.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 14.3 minutes across his previous 49 games coming off the bench.

MARCH 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting start vs. Bucks Jackson will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Dustin Dopirak of the Indy Star reports.

Impact With Myles Turner (back) out again, the Pacers will roll with Jackson at center as they go up against the Bucks' jumbo-sized frontcourt of Brook Lopez and Giannis Antetokounmpo. In Monday's loss to the Mavs, Jackson came off the bench behind Jalen Smith but still managed eight points, 12 rebounds, a steal and a block in 24 minutes.

MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battles foul trouble in spot start Jackson racked up 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and three steals across 23 minutes during Saturday's 143-130 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Jackson moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Myles Turner, who was out with a back injury. Despite playing just 23 minutes as a result of early foul trouble, Jackson reminded everyone just what he is capable of when given meaningful minutes. While he didn't record a block, he managed three steals, providing value in a hard category to stream. At this point, he needs Turner to be sidelined to be considered a standard-league option, something that could happen should the Pacers opt to shut things down.

MARCH 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Jackson will enter the first unit for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Jackson will step into the starting center spot with Myles Turner (back) sidelined for the contest. In seven appearances with the first unit, Jackson has averaged 11.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.9 blocks over 25.3 minutes.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Supplies double figures off bench Jackson notched 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block over 22 minutes during Friday's 120-95 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Jackson has now played a sizeable role for the Pacers in three straight contests after being held to only two minutes March 16 against the Bucks. He's put up 12 points in two of his last three matchups and has swatted away four shots over this brief stretch.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Claims double-double off bench Jackson recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 20 minutes in Monday's 109-105 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Jackson had been out of the rotation in the Pacers' previous game Saturday versus Philadelphia, but head coach Rick Carlisle found room for both the second-year center and Jalen Smith on the second unit Monday. The two ended up serving as the primary backups behind starting center Myles Turner and starting power forward Aaron Nesmith, with both reserve bigs getting 20 minutes apiece. As he showed Monday, Jackson doesn't need a starting-level workload to make for an interesting fantasy option, but until his role stabilizes some more or if Turner misses time, he'll be difficult to trust for streaming purposes.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Jackson (knee) is available for Monday's contest against the Hornets.

Impact After initially being viewed as questionable due to a sore knee, Jackson will officially suit up Monday. Despite being available, Jackson remains a difficult fantasy option to trust with Myles Turner back in the starting lineup. Jackson is averaging 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds across 13.8 minutes over his 45 appearances off the bench this season.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee sprain Jackson is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to a right knee sprain.

Impact Jackson has fallen out of the rotation with Myles Turner healthy the past two games and may take a seat Monday to manage a knee sprain. Regardless of Jackson's availability, Jalen Smith figures to remain the top backup behind Turner.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rejoins reserves Jackson will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Jackson drew a pair of starts in place of Myles Turner (back) but will return to the second unit with Turner healthy. Over his stint with the starters, Jackson averaged 15.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks over 26.5 minutes. However, he should see a workload more similar to his season average of 15.0 minutes per game Thursday.
