Isaiah Jackson Re-Signs with Pacers on Three-Year Deal Despite Season-Ending Achilles Injury

Center Isaiah Jackson has finalized a three-year, $21 million contract to return to the Indiana Pacers, solidifying his role as a young core member of the team's frontcourt. This agreement comes despite the 23-year-old missing the majority of last season after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon in early November. Jackson, who averaged 7.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in just under 17 minutes per game in the 2023-24 season, will continue his recovery and prepare to rejoin the lineup for the Pacers.
