Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon in his right leg, sources within the league have confirmed to ESPN.
This injury, which occurred without any contact, is yet another setback for the Pacers’ frontcourt, as they now face the loss of another key big man for an extended period.
Jackson is expected to undergo surgery on Monday to repair the tendon, and while no official timeline has been provided, Achilles injuries of this nature typically require a lengthy recovery process.
The Pacers will likely have to adjust their rotation significantly to compensate for his absence, impacting their depth and strategy in the coming months.
