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.

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.
Jackson (ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Jackson has been officially ruled out for Sunday's game in Sacramento with this news, as well as Tuesday's matchup against Dallas and Wednesday's against Oklahoma City. He'll still have a few more opportunities to return before the end of the regular season, either April 10 against Portland or April 12 against Golden State.

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: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Jackson supplied 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.
Jackson turned some heads in limited minutes Monday, perhaps giving the coaching staff something to think about. Brook Lopez has been solid for the most part as Los Angeles' starting center, but he posted a major dud in 24 minutes Monday. Keep an eye on Jackson in case he builds on this momentum.

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.
