Quenton Jackson will have his contract fully guaranteed by the Indiana Pacers for the 2026-27 season. The guard is set to make $2.58 million during the coming campaign. Jackson's agreement for the ongoing league year only had $275k of guaranteed money, but the Pacers have chosen not to waive him, meaning his contract will become fully guaranteed. The 27-year-old has improved each year he's been with the Pacers, playing sparingly in his first season before appearing in 28 games in 2024-25 and 49 games in 2025-26. Jackson averaged 9.1 points and 2.9 assists per game for Indiana last year. He has become a key part of the team's culture, with general manager Chad Buchanan praising his contributions. The Pacers now have 14 players signed to guaranteed contracts, and their roster and salary cap outlook is more clear. The team can only add a 15th player to their roster if that player has zero or one year of service. Quenton Jackson's guaranteed contract is a significant development for the Pacers, who will now look to sort out their two-way deals and determine if they should extend any of the contracts their veterans are signed to. Jackson's improvement has been notable, and he will look to continue to contribute to the team's success. The Pacers' decision to guarantee Jackson's contract is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the team. With Jackson's contract guaranteed, the Pacers can now focus on other areas of their roster. The team has two more summer leagues to participate in before the start of the new season.
