Top Pacers News

  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Still out with concussion

    Jackson is out for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to a concussion.

    Jackson remains stuck in the league's concussion protocol for a fifth straight game. Tony Bradley should handle the backup center role behind Jay Huff on Wednesday. Jackson's next chance to return comes Friday against San Antonio.

  • Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Iffy for Wednesday

    Sheppard (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

    Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3, but he's currently listed as day-to-day. If he's able to give it a go Wednesday, the Pacers will likely monitor his minutes closely.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Probable for Wednesday

    McConnell is probable for Wednesday's game against the Magic with left hamstring soreness.

    McConnell returned from a one-game absence Monday against Houston, finishing with six points, one rebound, four assists and one steal. He's still day-to-day with mild soreness, but he's likely to keep pushing through it.

  • Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Steady campaign continues

    Siakam racked up 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.

    Amid what's been a rough year for the Pacers so far, Siakam has been a mainstay in the lineup with dependable production. The star forward has played all but one of Indiana's first 34 contests, averaging 23.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 33.8 minutes per game.

  • Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Logs 16 minutes in return

    McConnell accumulated six points (2-7 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.

    McConnell continues to deal with a minor hamstring concern, although he was able to suit up Monday after missing the previous game. With Indiana likely leaning into its youth, it appears as though McConnell is going to be limited to no more than 20 minutes on most nights. He can be a serviceable source of assists and steals, although he should be viewed as more of a streamer than a must-roster player.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Jarace Walker: Scores 12 points in loss

    Walker recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.

    Walker scored in double digits for just the second time in the past seven games, continuing what has been another underwhelming season. Despite the increase in playing time, Walker's overall production has seemingly plateaued, averaging 9.0 points and 4.5 rebounds in 24.1 minutes per game. At this stage, there is no reason to roster him outside of very deep leagues.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Ethan Thompson: Role evaporates Monday

    Thompson racked up two points (1-1 FG) and one assist over four minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to Houston.

    Thompson barely touched the floor Monday, continuing the recent decline in playing time. It would appear as though Indiana will have very little to play for later in the season, other than lottery balls. Head coach Rick Carlisle has already shown his hand when it comes to experimenting with different lineups, something that could very well continue for the remainder of the season. Thompson can be dropped in most formats, although managers will want to monitor the situation in case things change at some point.

  • Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Won't play Monday

    Sheppard is out for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left calf strain.

    The Pacers had initially upgraded Sheppard to questionable before ruling out the guard, suggesting his return is imminent. With Sheppard out Monday, T.J. McConnell should pick up a few extra minutes in the Indiana backcourt.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Jay Huff: Will play Monday

    Huff (ankle) will play Monday against the Rockets.

    Huff was previously listed as questionable, but he's yet to miss a game this season and will play through the issue Monday. The center holds averages of 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five outings.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Good to go Monday

    McConnell (hamstring) will play Monday against Houston.

    McConnell will be returning from a one-game absence to reprise his role as Indiana's backup point guard. Over his last five appearances, McConnell has averaged 11.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 17.2 minutes per contest.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Unavailable for Monday

    Jackson (concussion) is out for Monday's game against the Rockets.

    Jackson will miss a fourth straight game due to a concussion. Tony Bradley and Micah Potter are candidates for extra minutes, especially if Jay Huff (ankle) is also unable to suit up.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Chance to return Monday

    Sheppard (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston.

    Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3. However, he has a chance to make his return to the hardwood Monday. Even if he's available, Sheppard would likely have his minutes monitored.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Iffy for Monday

    McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

    McConnell could miss a second straight game due to right hamstring soreness. If he is unable to play, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson are candidates for increased roles.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Jay Huff: Tending to ankle sprain

    Huff is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston due to a left ankle sprain.

    Huff is at risk of missing his first game of the season, as the big man is battling a sprained ankle. He's started 14 consecutive games for the Pacers, averaging 9.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 2.9 blocks across 23.6 minutes during that stretch. With backup center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) out, Indiana would likely turn to Micah Potter and Tony Bradley if Huff doesn't play.

  • Pacers' Johnny Furphy: Scores nine points in spot start

    Furphy registered nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Saturday's 142-116 loss to the Heat.

    Furphy received his first start of the season, scoring nine points for the second straight game. Furphy has now played at least 18 minutes in five straight games, an indication that he could be utilized a little more, if and when the Pacers throw in the towel, so to speak. Aaron Nesmith (knee) returned from an 18-game absence and will likely move back into the starting lineup at some point in the near future. There is no reason to go and add Furphy, although he is a name to monitor as the silly season approaches in February and March.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Serviceable two-way effort

    Nesmith racked up nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 19 minutes during Saturday's 142-116 loss to the Heat.

    Nesmith returned after missing the past 18 games due to a knee injury, providing the Pacers with adequate bench production. Although the upside for Nesmith is somewhat limited, he should be able to work his way into the starting lineup in the coming weeks, making him a worthwhile addition in standard formats.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Pacers' Tony Bradley: Muted role continues

    Bradley supplied three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 11 minutes during Saturday's 142-116 loss to Miami.

    Bradley continues to play a muted role for the Pacers, despite the fact that Isaiah Jackson is currently sidelined due to a concussion. Bradley has now played fewer than 15 minutes in 12 straight games, many of which have been garbage-time appearances. At this point, there is no reason to consider adding him, even in deeper formats.
