Quenton Jackson remains day-to-day with an undisclosed issue, the same label he carried out of Sunday's scrimmage, according to Tony East of Forbes.com. The Pacers list him as day-to-day heading into their game against the Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
What happened
The Pacers' injury report listed Quenton Jackson as day-to-day at 6:54 p.m. ET Wednesday, unchanged from his previous status. The report carries no further detail on the issue itself, only that it is undisclosed. Tony East of Forbes.com reported that Jackson will not participate in Sunday's scrimmage. That comment matches the same day-to-day, undisclosed designation Jackson already carried on Sunday, Oct. 4. No body part or additional description has been attached to the issue in either report.
What it means for the Pacers
Indiana is set to face the Timberwolves on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV, with the Pacers at 0-0 since the 2026-27 season has not started. Last season Jackson averaged 9.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 18.3 minutes across 49 games, production the Pacers would be without if he sits. Guards Bennedict Mathurin and Andrew Nembhard are positioned to absorb extra backcourt minutes if Jackson is unavailable, with Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith and Jarace Walker also part of the rotation. There is no record to cite with or without Jackson, since no regular-season games have been played yet.
What to watch
The next injury report will show whether Jackson's day-to-day status changes before Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. No expected return date has been announced. Indiana is also tracking T.J. McConnell (day-to-day, undisclosed), Larry Nance Jr. (day-to-day, hamstring) and Johnny Furphy (out, right knee) on the same report. Jackson's status will need to clear before Indiana's following games.
