Pacers Isaiah Jackson Suffers Torn Achilles

The Indiana Pacers are navigating a challenging period following a significant injury to their center, Isaiah Jackson. His season is likely over.

During a recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Jackson suffered an injury to his right Achilles tendon, leaving him unable to continue.

An MRI conducted the next day confirmed a torn Achilles tendon, with surgery scheduled for Monday, November 4.

This injury is a major setback for Jackson and the Pacers, especially as the team was already dealing with a similar situation involving James Wiseman, who also tore his Achilles.

With Wiseman sidelined, Jackson was expected to play a pivotal role this season, stepping up to fill the gap as a reliable presence in the paint.

His absence will now forces the Pacers to make some tough decisions to their lineup.
