James Wiseman

Brown was in training camp with the Knicks on an Exhibit 10 deal but was waived just before the start of the season. Injuries in the frontcourt have decimated the Pacers. James Wiseman and Isaiah Jackson are out with season-ending Achilles injuries, and a calf injury has sidelined starter Myles Turner. If Turner is sidelined for an extended period, Brown may be able to provide value in deep leagues.

The Pacers already lost another backup center, James Wiseman, for the season due to the same injury.

Jackson suffered the non-contact injury during the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to the Pelicans. He's the second Pacers big man to suffer a torn Achilles this season, with James Wiseman doing so during the opening game. This leaves Indiana severely shorthanded behind starter Myles Turner. Obi Toppin may take on some center minutes, freeing up additional opportunities for Jarace Walker at the four.

Jackson suffered the non-contact injury when he bit on a Brandon Ingram shot fake. While he was able to walk off the court with the help of teammate T.J. McConnell, there's concern given the season-ending Achilles tendon tear James Wiseman suffered on October 23. Following the game, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said that the team did not have an official diagnosis but was "hoping it's not the worst news." With Wiseman out for the season and Myles Turner making his return from a sprained ankle on Friday, the last thing the Pacers can afford is to lose another rotation big.
