Player In The Trade That Sent Russell Westbrook To The Lakers And Also Included The Nets, Wizards, Pacers And Spurs Did Something Spectacular

Isaiah Jackson, who was involved in the five-team trade for Russell Westbrook with the Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and San Antonio Spurs, tied an NBA Summer League record.

Isaiah Jackson was the number 22 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft to the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Yet, he was actually a draft pick for the Indiana Pacers after the Lakers traded the selection to the Washington Wizards. The latter then sent the pick to the Pacers as part of a five-team trade that included Russell Westbrook (See Tweets below from Shams Charania). 

The Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook, 2024 second-round pick, 2028 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and No. 22 tonight, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
