The Indiana Pacers and young center Isaiah Jackson did not agree to terms on a contract extension before Monday's deadline.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers will enter the 2024-25 season without a rookie-scale contract extension agreement with center Isaiah Jackson.
Jackson averaged 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game last season. He played in 59 games, though many of them were only garbage time appearances with Jalen Smith also on the team getting bench center opportunities. With Smith now in Chicago with the Bulls, Jackson projects to be Indiana's full-time backup five.
Jackson was eligible for an extension that could have been up to five years in length and up to $224 million in total — technically more if he received escalators in his contract that are available with rookie scale extensions. Of course, the three-year pro isn't worth nearly that much money, but any new deal that fits within those years and dollars would have been legal.
