Could begin season in starting role Jackson has been working with the first team in training camp and said, "I think I'm going to be in the starting role," Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jackson was traded from Indiana to Los Angeles last February and averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 15.8 minutes per game in 17 regular-season appearances off the bench with the Clippers last season. Head coach Ty Lue may still opt to start veteran big man Brook Lopez to begin the regular season, so Jackson will look to impress during the preseason. He'll face competition for minutes from Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who will miss time to begin the year.

Impact Jackson was able to go through Tuesday's practice, and he's on the cusp of ending an eight-game absence with a right ankle sprain.

Could return Sunday Jackson (ankle) could return as soon as for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Jackson has been out of action since March 27 due to a right ankle sprain. If he's unable to return Sunday, then the next time that he would be available would be for the Suns' opening game in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Jackson averaged 18.3 minutes per game off the bench across his 14 outings prior to his injury, and his return would bolster the Clippers' depth at center behind starter Brook Lopez.

Impact Jackson will miss a second consecutive contest Tuesday after spraining his right ankle in Friday's win over Indiana.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled questionable Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient off bench in win Jackson ended Wednesday's 119-94 win over Toronto with 12 points (6-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.

Impact Jackson enjoyed seeing over 20 minutes off the bench just for the third time since the beginning of March, but he made the most of the opportunity. Jackson has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, but his limited role off the bench certainly compromises his fantasy appeal, even if he's making the most of the limited opportunities he's had.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well off bench Jackson supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Jackson turned some heads in limited minutes Monday, perhaps giving the coaching staff something to think about. Brook Lopez has been solid for the most part as Los Angeles' starting center, but he posted a major dud in 24 minutes Monday. Keep an eye on Jackson in case he builds on this momentum.

MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles vs. Memphis Jackson finished Saturday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two steals and one block over 25 minutes.

Impact Jackson's 25 minutes off the bench were his most in a game since Feb. 2, and he took advantage of the additional playing time by leading the Clippers in rebounds while recording his seventh double-double of the season. He started in place for Brook Lopez at the start of the second half, and Jackson ended up seeing most of his playing time come over the final two frames of Saturday's game. With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the rest of the season, Jackson figures to be the top big man off the bench for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Steps into backup center spot Jackson accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 win over the Pacers.

Impact With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the Clippers' next two games, Jackson is set to handle the No. 2 center gig behind starter Brook Lopez. The 18 minutes were Jackson's most since he joined the team at the trade deadline, but the big man still might struggle for enough playing time warrant streaming attention in most leagues.

MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE

Gets garbage-time run in debut Jackson played the final 5:28 of Tuesday's 102-95 loss to the Rockets, finishing with five points (2-2 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound.

Impact Cleared to play for the first time since being acquired from the Pacers last Thursday, Jackson wasn't part of the rotation while the game was competitive, as he didn't check into the game until Houston built a 13-point lead just over halfway into the final quarter. The Clippers appear set to prioritize Brook Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser ahead of Jackson at center for the time being.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Jackson was acquired from the Pacers at the trade deadline and will likely step into a rotation role right away. Brook Lopez is expected to start at center, but Jackson could be penciled in as his backup.
