Isaiah Jackson News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

Records double-double from bench Jackson amassed 12 points (6-9 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 152-128 loss to Utah.

Impact Tony Bradley drew the start and center, but he proved to be largely ineffective. Jackson stepped in for extra minutes as a result, ultimately grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds. The Pacers have yet to find a decent alternative for Myles Turner, but Jackson has proven to be the most effective replacement through 11 games.

Heading to second unit Jackson is not starting against the Jazz on Tuesday.

Impact Jackson has been the Pacers' regular starter at center for most of the season thus far, but he'll move to the bench in favor of Tony Bradley. Jackson is averaging 7.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game in 2025-26 while starting in all but one of his 10 regular-season appearances.

Notches first double-double Jackson registered 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Jackson was calculated on the offensive end on the way to his best scoring output of the young campaign. He's flirted with a double-double on a few occasions so far this year, but he was finally able to secure his first during Monday's tightly-contested loss. After a somewhat slow start to the 2025-26 season, Jackson is averaging a more reasonable 13.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists over his last three appearances.

Comes close to double-double Jackson logged nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 128-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Jackson turned in his best scoring performance of the young season, though his opportunities continue to be limited, as Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker were the focal points of the offense Friday evening. Jackson also posted a season high in rebounds, narrowly missing a double-double. The Kentucky product should continue to see his name listed in the starting lineup moving forward.

Starting Sunday Jackson will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Jackson will make his second start of the season with James Wiseman retreating to the bench. In his previous start, Jackson saw just eight minutes, so a starting role does not necessarily mean his usage will be significantly increased.

Shifts to bench on Saturday Jackson totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

Impact After starting Indiana's season opener, Jackson shifted to a backup role during their loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. He did play four more minutes tonight, but that could have been a result of game script with Memphis up by as much as 30 at one point. Jackson is coming off of an Achilles tear he suffered in November last year, so it's likely they'll ease him into a bigger workload as the season progresses.

Retreating to bench Saturday Jackson won't start in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact With James Wiseman joining the starting five, Jackson will retreat to the bench. The 23-year-old center logged just eight minutes in Thursday's season-opening double-overtime loss to the Thunder, posting zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound.

Barely touched floor in loss Jackson finished with zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Despite starting, Jackson managed just eight minutes, a worrying sign for anyone who took a chance on him in drafts. His preseason was far from convincing, and it appears the coaching staff has some reservations when it comes to his role. He is worth holding for at least a few games, just to see whether this was simply a case of foul trouble.

Struggles in starting role Jackson finished with two points (0-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in nine minutes during Tuesday's 135-134 preseason win over the Timberwolves.

Impact Jackson was given the starting nod, perhaps an indication that he will fill that role come Opening Night. He picked up three fouls in his first three minutes, contributing to the fact that he played just nine minutes in total. Meanwhile, Jay Huff logged 19 minutes off the bench, providing serviceable production on both ends of the floor. It appears as though the center rotation could be hard to nail down for fantasy managers, with Tony Bradley also in the mix.

Will play and start vs. Minnesota Jackson (Achilles) will be in the starting lineup during Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Jackson has been working his way back from tearing his Achilles tendon in November of the 2024-25 campaign. Although it's a tough injury to recover from and takes a long time to heal, he's clearly making strides to do so, playing as a starter in this preseason game.

Working with starting five Jackson (Achilles) has been working with the first unit in pick-up games, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Jackson tore his Achilles in early November last season, and there haven't been many updates on his progress. However, the fact that he's participating in pick-up games is encouraging, and it's looking possible that he'll be ready around opening night. Though Jackson has been working with the first unit, coach Rick Carlisle noted that he isn't committed to a starting center, giving praise to all of Jackson, Jay Huff, James Wiseman and Tony Bradley.

Agrees to contract with Pacers Jackson (Achilles) has agreed to sign a three-year, $21 million contract with the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Indiana extended a qualifying offer to Jackson earlier this offseason, and the big man is now lined up to play his fifth season with the Pacers. Jackson suffered a torn Achilles in November of last season, which restricted him to eight games, but he'll have a chance to take on a more pronounced role when healthy in 2025-26 due to the departure of Myles Turner. Over his five appearances last year, Jackson averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 16.8 minutes per game.

Qualifying offer extended The Pacers extended a qualifying offer to Jackson (Achilles) on Sunday, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact Jackson is now set to enter restricted free agency this offseason after spending the past four years in Indiana. The big man suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in November and missed the remainder of the 2024-25 season. He appeared in just five regular-season outings (one start) last year, averaging 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks across 16.8 minutes per game.
