[RealGM Wiretap]

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson suffered a torn right Achilles, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.

Jackson is set to undergo surgery on Monday.

The 22-year-old suffered the injury after landing awkwardly in the fourth quarter of Friday night's loss against the Pelicans. 

The Pacers also recently lost James Wiseman to a torn Achilles.

That's rough. I hope his repair and rehabilitation bring him as close as possible to 100%

I'm not sure if there is a correlation to anything in particular, but there seems to have been a lot of torn Achilles in recent seasons.

Big blow to the Pacers after having already lost Wiseman for the year. Less than 10 games in and the Pacers have had their frontcourt depth decimated.
