Isaiah Jackson is set to remain with the Indiana Pacers, signing a three-year, $21 million contract after recovering from an Achilles injury that sidelined him for most of last season. The 23-year-old center, who had only appeared in five games last year, is looking to make a significant impact as he returns to the court. Despite being selected in the first round of the 2021 draft, Jackson has struggled to find consistent playing time and has only averaged 6.4 points and four rebounds in the 2023-2024 season.

The Pacers are banking on Jackson's potential as he aims to solidify his role within the team. His new deal secures his position in Indiana through the 2027-28 season, providing him with the opportunity to grow alongside his teammates and contribute more effectively as the franchise looks to build around young talent.
