Isaiah Jackson Gets Starting Nod in Clippers' Preseason Opener

Isaiah Jackson will start Sunday's preseason game against the Warriors, playing the first half alongside Darius Garland, Max Strus, Rui Hachimura, and Derrick Jones. Jackson gets the opening nod over veteran Brook Lopez, with whom he is competing for the starting center role. Last season in 17 bench appearances for the Clippers, Jackson averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks across 15.8 minutes per contest.
