Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: To miss at least one more week
Rotowire
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Saturday that Jackson has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol, though he'll need at least one more week to ramp up his conditioning, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Jackson hasn't played since Dec. 22 but appears to be nearing a return to action. Still, he isn't expected to return until next Saturday's game against Detroit at the very earliest. In the meantime, Micah Potter and Tony Bradley will likely continue to split the backup center duties behind Jay Huff.

Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Falling behind Huff at center
Rotowire
Jackson totaled zero points (0-2 FG), seven rebounds, two blocks and three steals in 17 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over the Kings.
Jackson drew some preseason sleeper buzz following Myles Turner's offseason departure, but the former simply hasn't been able to gain much traction in 2025-26. Jay Huff appears to be taking over at center, leading the league with 2.5 blocks per game. As for Jackson, he has averaged an efficient 7.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 18.0 minutes per contest over his last six games (no starts), though Monday's scoreless outing was his first since the season opener.
Jackson closed with six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to Denver.
Jackson has been a wild card for the Pacers ever since being relegated to the bench in favor of Jay Huff, as his production has been inconsistent, but he remains a key contributor as it appears Indiana has elected to split time relatively evenly between Huff and Jackson. In his last four games off the bench, Jackson averages 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks across 18.5 minutes, providing value across the board, but his lack of volume and playing time prevents him from being a necessity on most rosters.
