The Indiana Pacers have suffered a significant blow with the loss of Isaiah Jackson for the season due to a torn Achilles tendon. This injury follows the earlier season-ending injury of backup center James Wiseman, leaving the team in a precarious position.

Coach Rick Carlisle expressed his disappointment after Jackson's non-contact injury during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans. With the Pacers now needing to find a replacement, they may explore options in the free agent market or consider trades to support Myles Turner.
