Indiana Pacers guard Quenton Jackson had his two-way agreement converted to a three-year standard deal Friday. The 27-year-old is in his third season with Indiana and has steadily grown from a little-used two-way guard into a trusted reserve ball handler. His athleticism and ability to pressure the paint have made him a natural fit in the Pacers' up-tempo system, and he has also knocked down 39.5 percent of his 114 three-point attempts over the past two seasons. That progression ultimately earned him a standard three-year deal. Over his last four games, Jackson is averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in 26.2 minutes with 1.5 triples, carving out a meaningful role on a 15-45 squad. He is more of a watchlist option for now, but his value would climb quickly in deeper leagues if regular starters are sidelined.

Indiana Pacers guard Quenton Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jackson will miss this game after being forced to make an early exit during Wednesday's game due to a right ankle injury. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said that Jackson could return against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Ben Sheppard should see a larger role in the rotation with Jackson unavailable here. He finished with eight points and two assists across 21 minutes on Wednesday. He'll be a risky streaming choice even with Jackson sidelined on Friday.

Indiana Pacers guard Quenton Jackson (right hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The 27-year-old had been one of the few bright spots in Indiana's injury-riddled backcourt, but this setback is another big blow for a team already missing multiple key guards. Jackson averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game while shooting 54.1% from the field and 50% from three, showing flashes of real offensive upside and poise as a temporary floor general. His absence leaves Ben Sheppard and RayJ Dennis to handle the bulk of playmaking duties, though both have struggled with consistency. The silver lining is that Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) appears close to returning, which should help stabilize the rotation. For fantasy managers, Jackson can be dropped in most formats for now but remains a name to watch once he's healthy again.

Indiana Pacers guard Quenton Jackson (hamstring) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Jackson exited Monday's 117-115 loss to the Bucks with a right hamstring strain and will remain sidelined as he continues to recover. His next opportunity to return to the Pacers' rotation comes on Saturday against the Nuggets. With Indiana dealing with multiple injuries across the roster, the team will likely lean on guards Ben Sheppard and RayJ Dennis (back), who is listed as probable for Wednesday's contest and expected to log extended minutes.

Washington Wizards guard Quenton Jackson has been released by the organization on Monday. The 24-year-old guard agreed to a two-year, two-way deal with the team before the 2022-2023 campaign. Despite that, the Wizards have decided to move in a different direction that doesn't include Jackson. He averaged 6.2 points and 1.7 assists in 15.2 minutes per game across nine games with the Wizards. Washington added multiple young guards this offseason, so it's not shocking to see them move on from Jackson. Possibly, Jackson will get a chance elsewhere, but he's not expected to have fantasy value.
