Overview

• Isaiah Jackson, 23, signed a three-year, $21 million fully guaranteed contract after his four-year rookie deal expired and the Pacers matched his restricted free-agent offer.
• The contract carries no player or team options and features limited injury protections to safeguard Indiana’s investment.
• Indiana plans a center-by-committee structure with Jackson competing for the starting role alongside James Wiseman, Jay Huff and Tony Bradley.
• Jackson averaged 7.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in the last full season before suffering a torn Achilles in November.
• The move maintains roster continuity after Myles Turner’s departure and keeps the Pacers about $7.1 million below the luxury tax threshold.
