Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Shifts to bench Saturday

Jackson totaled three points (1-4 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 12 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to Memphis.

After starting Indiana's season opener, Jackson shifted to a backup role during the loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday. He did play four more minutes in this one, but that could have been a result of game script with Memphis up by as much as 30 at one point. Jackson is coming off an Achilles tear he suffered in November last season, so it's likely the Pacers will ease him into a bigger workload as the season progresses.
