Isaiah

Jackson

Saturday’s game was the first for Jackson since suffering a concussion during a December 22 loss to the Celtics. While solid in his 17 minutes, the former first-round pick was not in a position to be streamed in any fantasy league. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. The Pacers play three games in Week 14, starting with the 76ers on Monday.

Jackson is available to make his first appearance in a game since December 22. While Jay Huff will remain the starter, Jackson’s return will likely result in fewer minutes for Micah Potter and Tony Bradley. However, there’s no need to roster Jackson immediately, given the time missed.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said that he expected Jackson to return during this road trip, and with four key rotation pieces sitting out, this would be a good game for him to suit up for. If he does, he’ll split the backup center minutes behind Jay Huff with Tony Bradley.

He said he also expects the same for Isaiah Jackson, who has been out with a concussion. This trip starts in Detroit on Saturday and ends in Atlanta on Jan. 26. Johnny Furphy has been starting for the Pacers recently, but he will likely return to a reserve role when Mathurin ends up back in the rotation.

Saturday’s game will be the tenth that Jackson has missed since suffering a head injury, but the good news is that he is no longer in the league’s concussion protocol. According to Carlisle, the former first-round pick is now working on improving his conditioning and will miss at least one more week. Until Jackson can play, the Pacers will continue to rely on Jay Huff, Micah Potter and Tony Bradley at the center position.

Jackson has not appeared in a game since December 22, as he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. The Pacers have stuck with a rotation of Jay Huff and Micah Potter recently, but Tony Bradley played 15 minutes on Thursday due to the latter’s early exit with an injury. Potter is available for Saturday’s game.

Jackson will miss a ninth consecutive game as he remains in the league’s concussion protocol. The Pacers have relied on a rotation of Jay Huff and Micah Potter at the center position, with whichever player has the “hot hand” getting more minutes. Neither has been the most reliable fantasy option, and the rotation may have something to do with that.

This will be Jackson’s eighth straight absence, with no end in sight. Micah Potter has been Indiana’s starting center recently, with Jay Huff and Tony Bradley serving as backups. That should continue against Cleveland.

Jackson will miss his sixth consecutive game with a concussion. Tony Bradley will serve as the primary backup to Jaff Huff, just as he has in the previous five games.

Jackson will miss a fifth consecutive game while in concussion protocols. Tony Bradley and Micah Potter will fill out the backup center minutes behind Jay Huff, though neither replacement will take on enough minutes to be worth streaming.
