Isaiah Jackson is coming off an Achilles injury of his own suffered on opening night and is a restricted free agent. James Wiseman, who was signed prior to last season, suffered an Achilles injury the same week and missed the entire season. He was traded to Toronto, then cut, but has been working out with the Pacers since.
