The Indiana Pacers have converted guard Quenton Jackson’s two-way agreement into a three-year standard NBA contract, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Klutch Sports, which represents the 27-year-old, confirmed the deal.
A league source told Indiana reporter Tony East that the pact carries a partial guarantee for the 2026-27 season and becomes non-guaranteed in 2027-28.
Jackson has logged 30 appearances for Indiana this year, averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 17.3 minutes. He is shooting 48.9 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent on three-pointers.
Because the upcoming season would mark Jackson’s fifth in the league, he would have been ineligible for another two-way slot. The Pacers already had an open spot on their 15-man roster, so no additional move was required.
“In this game, it’s best to focus on what you can control,” Jackson told East when asked recently about the possibility of a full contract.
General manager Chad Buchanan has described Jackson as “a big part of our culture,” citing his energy and toughness.
With Jackson promoted, Indiana now has one two-way vacancy alongside Taelon Peter and Ethan Thompson.
