Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Pacers have stated that Jackson came down with a headache. This is a concerning development considering he suffered a concussion a week ago and had to miss each of the team's last two games because of it. He only logged seven minutes in Wednesday's game before departing. Starting center Goga Bitadze got off to a great start to the game and he should be set for a strong finish with Jackson out.

Indiana Pacers centers Isaiah Jackson (head) and Goga Bitadze (foot) will both be active for Wednesday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Jackson missed the team's last two games while going through the league's concussion protocol. Bitadze, meanwhile, is hampered by a foot injury. He played through the injury on Sunday and scored 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting over 24 minutes. The Pacers will be without Jalen Smith (illness) for Wednesday's game, so both Jackson and Bitadze are worthy starters in just about all fantasy formats, with Jackson being the more enticing of the pair.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) isn't available for Sunday's meeting against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. The 20-year-old will now miss his second consecutive outing. Fortunately, the Pacers won't have another game until Wednesday versus Sacramento, so hopefully, with some added rest, he will be back by then. Nonetheless, Jalen Smith (head contusion) and Goga Bitadze (foot) are questionable, so Oshae Brissett and Terry Taylor may be in line for more work.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (head) won't play during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is a tough blow with Goga Bitadze (foot) uncertain to play as well. Jackson heads into concussion protocol, so he could very well miss multiple games. In the meantime, Jalen Smith could be looking at significant playing time. He has played well since joining the Pacers at the trade deadline. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Smith is available.

Indiana Pacers centers Isaiah Jackson (ankle) and Goga Bitadze (foot) are listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson has appeared in one game this month, but he was a fantasy asset when healthy. He should have no shortage of minutes, assuming he can stay healthy. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and see if Jackson is available. Jalen Smith and Oshae Brissett are expected to lose playing time with Bitadze returning. Bitadze and Jackson are the main priorities in the frontcourt for Indiana right now.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was able to get through Wednesday's practice, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Jackson played in one of the final eight games before the All-Star break. However, Jackson has plenty of upside with Myles Turner (foot) remaining sidelined. Jackson was playing well enough to roster in most formats, but it's uncertain if he can stay healthy. Jalen Smith, Goga Bitadze, and Oshae Brissett should all benefit if Jackson misses more time. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson as questionable for Friday's contest. Brissett and Smith could have some short term streaming appeal if Jackson remains out.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to a right ankle sprain. The hope is that Jackson will be able to return after the All-Star break. Until then, fantasy managers should expect Goga Bitadze and Jalen Smith to split up the playing time. Smith is the slightly better fantasy option between the two big men.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) will be sidelined once again for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Jackson is dealing with a right ankle sprain. He was out for over a week before briefly returning to action last Friday. In that return, he re-injured his ankle and he hasn't played since. While Jackson remains out, the Pacers have three big men with varying fantasy value. Oshae Brissett is locked into the starting lineup right now and has been fantastic in two straight games. Goga Bitadze has been seeing a good amount of action, but hasn't done much. New addition Jalen Smith logged a double-double in the team's most recent game, playing 23 minutes off the bench. Smith figures to be a hot DFS name to consider on Tuesday with Jackson out.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He re-aggravated his right ankle issue during Friday's contest. He lasted only 12 minutes during that game, but scored 11 points before exiting. It's a shame since Jackson has been playing fairly well whenever he gets a chance. In the meantime, Goga Bitadze and Jalen Smith will get more playing time. Smith appears to have slightly more fantasy value, but neither are great fantasy contributors right now.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was forced to exit early and won't return to Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the same ankle issue that has been causing Jackson problems over the last few games. He scored 11 points in 12 minutes before exiting due to right ankle soreness. His absence boosted the playing time of both Tristan Thompson and Jalen Smith. Neither of them have huge upside, but Smith could be a sneaky addition if Jackson is forced to miss multiple games.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last four games due to a sprained right ankle. Although, Jackson should have a bigger role with Domantas Sabonis and Torrey Craig traded off the roster. Until Jackson returns, Goga Bitadze should see all the minutes he can handle. Bitadze is looking like a decent streaming choice for Friday with the Pacers shorthanded.

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. With this news and following the trade of Domantas Sabonis, the Pacers are set to be extremely short-handed on Tuesday. The Pacers will only have eight total players available: Chris Duarte, Duane Washington Jr., Goga Bitadze, Terry Taylor, Oshae Brissett, Keifer Sykes, Lance Stephenson and ... [More]

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland. Jackson tweaked his right ankle during Wednesday's bout against the Orlando Magic and could miss more time moving forward. Nonetheless, if Domantas Sabonis can return from his stint in health and safety protocols and Goga Bitadze (foot) can make it back from his four-game absence, Jackson's availability wouldn't have meant much anyway. However, if Bitadze and Sabonis can't play, Terry Taylor, who had 21 points, 14 boards, and five assists against the Bulls on Friday, should be on the fantasy radar.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) was a bust for anyone who trusted him in fantasy formats on Wednesday. He exited the game within the first minute due to a right ankle sprain. He was unable to return to Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is a tough blow considering Jackson was the only healthy center on the roster. Both Torrey Craig and Terry Taylor were asked to play heavy minutes on Wednesday. Taylor put together a fantastic performance and could have some short term fantasy value if Jackson misses time.
