1 million in one year! Official signing! Wiseman returns to the NBA

Pacers officially announced: $21 million is signed back to Isaiah Jackson in three years, and $5.7 million is signed back to Wiseman in two years. Isaiah Jackson's contract is fully guaranteed, and he will serve as the Pacers starting center next season. Wiseman's contract is guaranteed only $1 million, and the team option for the second year is equivalent to $1 million in one year.

Isaiah Jackson was born on January 10, 2002, with a height of 2.06 meters and a wingspan of 2.13 meters. He is the first round No. 22 in 2021. In the 2024-25 season, he only played 5 games and suffered a tear of his right Achilles tendon and was reimbursed for the season. He averaged 16.8 minutes per game during the season, scored 7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.6 blocks, and shot a 60.9% shooting percentage.

Isaiah Jackson was previously a 4-year, 12.16 million rookie contract, which expires this summer. Since Turner joined the Bucks for 108.9 million in four years, the Pacers urgently need to replenish the inside and sign Isaiah Jackson and Wiseman in succession. On October 25, 2024, Wiseman's left Achilles tendon torn, and a week later Isaiah Jackson's right Achilles tendon torn.

This year's finals, Halliburton's right Achilles tendon torn. In other words, three Pacers players suffered serious injuries to the Achilles tendon last season. Halliburton is expected to not return next season, with the Pacers starting lineup: Nemhard, Mathering, Nesmith, Siakam, Isaiah Jackson. Wiseman and Jay Khufu will serve as substitute centers!

Wiseman was the second pick in 2020. Edwards, the No. 1 pick in the same class, had US$260 million in five years, and the third goal in five years, and Paway won US$90 million in five years. Compared with the high-ranking rookies in the same class, Wiseman is a bit miserable. In the summer of 2024, Wiseman signed a basic salary contract with the Pacers, with a guaranteed amount of only 500,000!

2024-25 season opening match, Wiseman tore the Achilles tendon and was directly reimbursed for the season. On February 7, 2025, the Pacers sent Wiseman to the Raptors in exchange for some cash, and the Raptors immediately cut Wiseman. The average recovery time for NBA players torn Achilles tendon is about 10 months. According to this time, Wiseman has not fully recovered.

This is not the first time Wiseman has been seriously injured. On April 11, 2021, Wiseman suffered a meniscus torn on his right knee. He underwent knee surgery twice within 8 months. Wiseman played only 39 games in his rookie season. In the second year of his career, the 2021-22 season, Wiseman didn't play a single game and missed the critical ball-raising period. In the 2019-20 season, Wiseman was suspended from the NCAA for receiving funding from Memphis coach Hardaway. Wiseman dropped out of school in anger and only played 3 games throughout his college career. From 2019 to 2022, Wiseman played only 42 official games in three years. How could he make progress?

Wiseman was born on March 31, 2001. He is 2.13 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.29 meters, and has a static talent of 2.85 meters. One step is wrong, one step is wrong. From college, Wiseman seems to have problems with every choice. With two serious injuries, the 24-year-old Wiseman has completely become a basic salary player. Do you think he can still play?
