Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Cleveland. He's gone from questionable to out due to a left hamstring strain. Jackson's absence means a heavy workload for Myles Turner and Jalen Smith against Cleveland's twin towers of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. It's a rough matchup for the duo, with the Cavaliers giving up the fifth-fewest points in the league to opposing centers.
Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets. He's sat out two games while being in concussion protocol. However, it looks like Jackson could be cleared to return on Tuesday. The 22-year-old is a good per-minute performer, but he doesn't get a lot of playing time for the Pacers behind Myles Turner, and Pascal Siakam's addition to the frontcourt will further complicate Jackson's situation.
Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The big man exited early and landed in concussion protocol on Thursday. As a result, Jackson sat out on Friday and will miss Sunday's game as well. When healthy, Jackson is going to face an uphill battle for playing time. Pascal Siakam is going to start and play the bulk of the minutes, so Jackson will battle with Jalen Smith for minutes off the bench.
Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (finger) remains on the injury report as questionable as the team gets ready for Monday's rematch versus Boston. Jackson has suffered a hairline fracture to his right fifth finger, but he's managed to play through the injury and logged nine minutes in Saturday's 118-101 loss to the Celtics. It appears likely that Jackson will also be available on Monday. The 21-year-old has bags of potential but is in a rough spot fantasy-wise in Indiana as long as Myles Turner and Jalen Smith stay healthy.
Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson played well during Monday's Summer League matchup against the Orlando Magic. Jackson recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes of action. The 21-year-old was able to carry some fantasy value last season due to his defensive ability. He averaged 1.2 blocks per game to go along with 7.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game. His fantasy potential is limited with Myles Turner still in Indiana. In fact, the Pacers signed Turner to a two-year extension, so that's not good news for Jackson. He'll likely only end up as a deep league option again due to lack of playing time.
Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (knee) has been cleared to play Saturday versus Brooklyn. He sat out Friday's meeting with Washington due to left knee soreness, but the team will welcome him back against the short-handed Nets. Jackson has averaged 7.3 points per game with 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks as Myles Turner's backup this season. He is still waiting to break out and Jackson's fate depends a lot on Turner's future. With Jackson available Saturday, Goga Bitadze loses a spot in the rotation, but he hasn't been fantasy-relevant anyway.
Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (knee) officially received the questionable tag on the injury report due to right knee soreness. He's only missed one game so far this season, so he's been able to play through any bumps and bruises that he's experienced so far. He hasn't exactly taken the jump that a lot of people expected this year, especially since Myles Turner is still on the team. If he does end up playing, he's only relevant in deeper fantasy leagues.
Indiana Pacers forward/center Isaiah Jackson (knee) has indicated that he will be good to go Friday against Miami. He left Monday's loss to Brooklyn after suffering a bruise to the back of his left knee. The 20-year-old managed six points and five rebounds with one assist and one steal in 13 minutes before being forced to exit. The second-year player out of Kentucky is off to a solid start to the campaign in pretty limited minutes, having so far averaged only 18.5 minutes a night. He could eventually breakout big time if the Pacers end up trading Myles Turner, who recently openly spoke about a potential move to the Lakers.
Aaron Nesmith, Isaiah Jackson Starting On Saturday
Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith and center Isaiah Jackson will move into the starting five for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that there could be changes to the starting lineup following Friday's loss. Nesmith and Jackson will move into the starting five, while Chris Duarte and Terry Taylor will head to the bench. The move to the starting lineup should increase the fantasy value of Nesmith and Jackson on Saturday.
The Indiana Pacers announced on Thursday that power forward/center Isaiah Jackson won't be logging anymore minutes at this year's Summer League. Jackson was a bit of a surprising addition to the team's Summer League roster as he had a productive rookie year in 2021-22 when he was healthy. Across his three Summer League outings, he averaged 8.3 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game. In his final game on Tuesday, he didn't miss a single shot from the field, shooting 7-for-7 on the way to 14 points.
