Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Gets garbage-time run in debut
Rotowire
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.
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.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Traded to LAC
Rotowire
The Pacers traded Jackson, Bennedict Mathurin (rest), two first-round picks and one second-round pick to the Clippers in exchange for Ivica Zubac (personal) and Kobe Brown, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After playing an inconsistent role for the Pacers in 2025-26, Jackson will head to Los Angeles and could compete with Brook Lopez for the starting role. Jackson signed a three-year, $21 million deal with Indiana this past summer and spent the first five-plus years of his career in Indiana. Over 38 regular-season appearances (14 starts) for Indiana this season, the big man averaged 6.4 points and 5.6 rebounds in 16.8 minutes per contest. For now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Tallies six defensive stats
Rotowire
Jackson registered six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 25 minutes during Monday's 118-114 loss to the Rockets.
Jackson had arguably his most impactful game of the season, recording six combined steals and blocks. Despite the loss, it was good to see Jackson logging meaningful minutes, something that has been an issue for him all season. Indiana is not afraid to shuffle its center rotation, meaning this effort could result in a short-term bump for Jackson. While he isn't a priority add, he is someone to monitor over the coming games.

Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Scoreless again in win
Rotowire
Jackson produced five rebounds, one assist and one block over six minutes during Saturday's 129-124 victory over the Hawks.
Jackson failed to score for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing to struggle on the offensive end of the floor. Indiana seemingly changes its center rotation on a nightly basis, making fantasy projections almost impossible. With that said, Jackson has now played fewer than 10 minutes in five of the past six games, meaning his spot in the rotation is far from secure.

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.
