Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Perfect shooting night Sunday
Ben Sheppard registered 14 points (5-5 FG, 4-4 3Pt) and one rebound in 17 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 122-95 victory over the Kings.It was the second-year guard's second game back from an oblique strain, and Sheppard looked fully healthy on a perfect night from the floor. The four made threes were his highest total since a 6-for-11 performance from long distance Nov. 1 against the Pelicans. The 2023 first-round pick had worked his way into the starting five prior to getting hurt, but with Aaron Nesmith (ankle) currently sidelined, Sheppard is probably ticketed for a key role on the Indiana Pacers' second unit.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Questionable to play Sunday

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Gets 16 minutes in return
Ben Sheppard (oblique) recorded two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one steal and one block across 16 minutes in Thursday's 120-111 win over the Suns.Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 17 after a 14-game absence due to a left oblique strain, Sheppard served as a bench player. He had started in his last five appearances prior to straining his oblique, but Andrew Nembhard was sidelined for those games with an injury of his own and has since returned to take his spot on the top unit. Rookie Johnny Furphy moved out of the Indiana rotation Thursday to open up a spot for Sheppard, who isn't likely to see his playing time pick up dramatically now that the Indiana Pacers are at close to full strength on the wing.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Another absence coming
Ben Sheppard (oblique) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.Sheppard will miss a fourth consecutive contest with this oblique injury, and there's no timetable for when he'll return to the court. Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson will continue to see more time at the small forward role, as the Indiana Pacers remain very depleted in terms of their wing depth. Sheppard's next chance to play will come against the Pelicans on Monday on the second half of a back-to-back set.
