Jackson amassed 24 points (10-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to the Rockets.
Jackson moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, going off for a season-high 24 points. The Pacers are without a number of regular guards, affording Jackson with a great opportunity. While he was able to capitalize, keep in mind he had scored a total of just 28 points in six games to begin the campaign. As a player who is not even a consistent part of the rotation, we would need to see a lot more of this before declaring him a reliable asset.

Quenton Jackson: Let go by Washington
Rotowire
The Wizards waived Jackson on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Jackson, a 2022 undrafted free agent, appeared in nine NBA contests with the Wizards while under a two-way deal last year, averaging 6.2 points and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes per game. Washington traded Bradley Beal this offseason but added Jordan Poole, Tyus Jones, Landry Shamet and Bilal Coulibaly to a backcourt that also features former lottery picks Deni Avdija, Johnny Davis and Corey Kispert, so it's not surprising to see Jackson as the odd man out. The Texas A&M product will look for a new opportunity ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, but he'll likely have to settle for an Exhibit 10 deal.
