Tony East: Asked Quenton Jackson if he’s thought about his deal possibly being converted: “I’ve thought about it. It’s hard not to think about it. But at the same time, I wouldn’t say I wrap my head around it too much. In this game, it’s best to think about the things that you can control.”

Tony East: You guys do have an open roster spot and a barrier of spending pretty close to you. Do you have any ideas on how that roster could be used? Is Quenton Jackson a consideration for that opening? Pacers GM Chad Buchanan: [Jackson is] definitely a real possibility. Quenton’s been awesome. He was fantastic last night, and he’s a big part of our culture in our locker room. He’s got such a good energy to him. He’s got a toughness about him, never complains about anything. Two-way guys, your life is a lot of unpredictability of where you’re going to be from day to day, and he approaches it with such a great attitude and a great competitive will to him, great competitive spirit. So that’s definitely something we’re considering. We’ve got to be mindful of the tax as we go through things, but there’s a timing and sequence that gives us the possibility to do something there. And I think we’ll look at probably doing that.
