Indiana Pacers evaluate Quenton Jackson's partially guaranteed contract

Quenton Jackson's partially guaranteed contract with the Indiana Pacers is under review as the team approaches a decision deadline of July 15. The contract, signed in February, has the first season fully guaranteed and only $275,000 in the second year. Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan noted Jackson's significant role in the team's culture and performance, suggesting his skills align well with their needs. The team faces financial considerations, as their current salary is just below the luxury tax threshold, which complicates decisions on roster moves. Waiving Jackson could provide limited financial flexibility but may also weaken the team's depth.
