Isaiah Jackson has seen only limited playing time since arriving with the Los Angeles Clippers, but he said he is focused on adjusting to his new environment and doing whatever he can to “help the team win,” according to Janis Carr.
As he continues to get comfortable within the system, the coaching staff is evaluating how best to use him in the rotation.
Head coach Tyronn Lue indicated that Jackson will continue competing with rookie Yanic Konan Niederhauser for minutes behind starting center Brook Lopez, as the team experiments with its frontcourt rotation.
“Right now, I’m just thinking, just talking to our staff, about just playing three bigs,” Lue said.
“We can’t continue to play Brook 34, 35 minutes a night, even though he says he’s OK. So, just given three centers, it’s a chance to play them all and then whoever’s playing the best will probably play in the second half. We’ll see how it goes.”
Jackson has played 5 seasons for the Pacers and Clippers. He has averaged 7.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 204 regular-season games.
