Dustin Dopirak: Rick Carlisle says Quenton Jackson is out tonight, but he's day-to-day. Said they got "good news" on his diagnostic test but he couldn't get into further detail. Said it's not out of the question that he could be available in Atlanta on Monday.

Dustin Dopirak: Quenton Jackson is questionable for the Pacers' game against the Thunder tomorrow with a right ankle sprain. Bennedict Mathurin is still out. Ethan Thompson listed as probable, so presumably he'll be there.

‪Tony East‬: Asked Quenton Jackson about Pascal Siakam and his late-game shot making. "Bar-be-cue chicken. I already know what's coming. Everytime Pascal catches the ball, the camera needs to pan to me, not him. I already know it's a bucket." His postgame media: youtu.be/txRtfc77Wg4

Dustin Dopirak: Rick Carlisle said Quenton Jackson did some work in practice today. Probably still out tomorrow. Carlisle said Kam Jones is making progress. Did non-contact stuff today. “Sooner than later.” Said Aaron Nesmith will still be a while. Hopeful some time this month.

Indiana Pacers: Quenton Jackson (right hamstring strain) is available for tonight's game against the Timberwolves.

Scott Agness: Bennedict Mathurin will undergo tests, but is out tonight in Minneapolis with a right great toe sprain. So is Taelon Peter (right groin strain). McConnell, Nembhard, Jones, Furphy remain out. However, two-way guard Quenton Jackson now probable. So 11 guys available (four Cs).

The team’s top four options are all sidelined with injuries — just one game into the 2025-26 season. Already, they’re without Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles rehab), T.J. McConnell (left hamstring strain), and Quenton Jackson (right hamstring strain). Starting point guard Andrew Nembhard joined the list after he sustained a left shoulder strain minutes into the first game of the season against Oklahoma City. While defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP and Finals MVP last season, Nembhard’s left arm got trapped under SGA’s right arm. He was called for his second foul, then immediately leaned forward and clutched his left arm.

Rookie guard Taelon Peter also left the game with an injured groin. The Pacers are already missing All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton for the year with an Achilles tendon tear and they went into Saturday's game without veteran point guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring strain), starting point guard Andrew Nembhard (shoulder strain) rookie guard Kam Jones (back stress reaction), second-year wing Johnny Furphy (sore left foot) and productive two-way contract guard Quenton Jackson (hamstring strain). "On paper, we might have 10 or 11 guys tomorrow," Carlisle said. "We'll have to see."

Indianapolis Star

Dustin Dopirak: Rick Carlisle said he expects Jarace Walker and Johnny Furphy to be available tomorrow. Quenton Jackson is out, but Carlisle said he’s making progress and hopes it’s “days, not weeks” before he returns but acknowledged he’s kind of spitballing there.

Twitter

Rick Carlisle: Rick Carlisle says it just didn’t work out with Cam Payne. Quenton Jackson won’t be ready for the opener. Possible they’re still looking at the waiver wire - “we’re looking at the waiver wire, we’re looking at people’s nephews and everything else,” he joked.
