He outscored starting center Brook Lopez 19-12 and played nearly four more minutes, providing the Clippers with an effective interior presence.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Fills stat sheet vs. Minnesota
Rotowire
Jackson had 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, four blocks and three steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 127-101 loss to the Timberwolves.
Although the Clippers suffered a 26-point blowout loss, Jackson was all over the court Friday night and posted an impressive performance, with at least three tallies in each of the five major categories. Jackson has played more than 25 minutes just once this season despite being the starting center, but he's making the most of his opportunities early on. He's averaging 8.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60 percent from the floor, giving him enough floor, both in production and role, to be a worthy waiver pickup, particularly in category-based formats.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Makes most of limited action
Rotowire
Jackson produced 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 win over the Kings.
Jackson won the Clippers' Opening Night starting job at center, but veteran Brook Lopez soundly outperformed him Wednesday.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Could begin season in starting role
Rotowire
Jackson has been working with the first team in training camp and said, "I think I'm going to be in the starting role," Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Jackson was traded from Indiana to Los Angeles last February and averaged 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 15.8 minutes per game in 17 regular-season appearances off the bench with the Clippers last season. Head coach Ty Lue may still opt to start veteran big man Brook Lopez to begin the regular season, so Jackson will look to impress during the preseason. He'll face competition for minutes from Lopez and Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot), who will miss time to begin the year.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Expected to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Warriors, per NBA writer Justin Russo.
Jackson was able to go through Tuesday's practice, and he's on the cusp of ending an eight-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The fifth-year big man should mix in a bit as a backup center behind Brook Lopez on Wednesday.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Could return Sunday
Rotowire
Jackson (ankle) could return as soon as Sunday, which will be the regular-season finale against the Thunder, Janis Carr of The Orange County Register reports.
Jackson has been out of action since March 27 due to a right ankle sprain. If he's unable to return Sunday, then the next time that he would be available would be for the Clippers' opening game in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Jackson averaged 18.3 minutes per game off the bench across his 14 outings prior to his injury, and his return would bolster the Clippers' depth at center behind starter Brook Lopez.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Efficient off bench in win
Rotowire
Jackson ended Wednesday's 119-94 win over Toronto with 12 points (6-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.
Jackson enjoyed seeing over 20 minutes off the bench just for the third time since the beginning of March, but he made the most of the opportunity. Jackson has scored in double digits in five of his last six games, but his reserve role compromises his fantasy appeal, even if he's making the most of the limited opportunities.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Double-doubles vs. Memphis
Rotowire
Jackson finished Saturday's 123-120 win over the Grizzlies with 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two steals and one block over 25 minutes.
Jackson's 25 minutes off the bench were his most in a game since Feb. 2, and he took advantage of the additional playing time by leading the Clippers in rebounds while recording his seventh double-double of the season. He started in place of Brook Lopez at the start of the second half, and Jackson ended up seeing most of his playing time come over the final two frames of Saturday's game. With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the rest of the season, Jackson figures to be the top big man off the bench for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

Clippers' Isaiah Jackson: Steps into backup center spot
Rotowire
Jackson accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 win over the Pacers.
With Yanic Konan Niederhauser (foot) out for the Clippers' next two games, Jackson is set to handle the No. 2 center gig behind starter Brook Lopez. The 18 minutes were Jackson's most since he joined the team at the trade deadline, but the big man will still struggle to see enough playing time to warrant streaming attention in most leagues.
