  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Will play Sunday

    Zubac (ankle) will play Sunday against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Zubac is set to play in his third consecutive game, and it'll be interesting to see if his playing time continues to rise. He logged 29 minutes during Friday's loss to the Knicks and finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two turnovers.

  • T.J. McConnell PG | IND

    Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Good to go vs. Milwaukee

    McConnell (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    McConnell has been a mainstay on the Pacers' injury report since mid-February due to right hamstring soreness. He's been cleared to play Sunday, and while he's averaging 16.9 minutes per game this season, McConnell could see an uptick in playing time due to the absences of Andrew Nembhard (calf), Quenton Jackson (calf) and Ben Sheppard (ankle).

  • Obi Toppin PF | IND

    Pacers' Obi Toppin: Cleared to play Sunday

    Toppin (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Toppin will shake off a questionable tag and suit up for the eighth time over Indiana's past nine games. Since returning to action at the end of February, Toppin has played limited minutes and scored in double figures only once.

  • Ben Sheppard SG | IND

    Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Not playing Sunday

    Sheppard (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    Sheppard popped up on Saturday's injury report due to a left ankle sprain. The injury is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's game, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Knicks. Sheppard has come off the bench in each of his last six outings and has averaged 20.0 minutes per game over that stretch. In his absence, those minutes will be absorbed by the likes of Kobe Brown, Kam Jones and T.J. McConnell.

  • Caleb Martin SF | DAL

    Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Good to go Sunday

    Martin (finger) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available. He's appeared in 11 of Dallas' 13 games since the All-Star break, but he's scored in double figures only twice and not since March 1 against Oklahoma City, when he started and played 30 minutes. He's played fewer than 16 minutes in five straight appearances.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Downgraded to out

    Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Gafford has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. His absence Friday came during the second night of a back-to-back set, but now the big man is under the weather. His status for Monday's game in New Orleans is also in jeopardy. Marvin Bagley should continue to handle an increased role until Gafford is cleared to suit up again.

  • PJ Washington PF | DAL

    Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Will play Sunday

    Washington (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Washington has been upgraded from probable to available and will return to action following a one-game absence. However, his availability for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set in New Orleans on Monday could be in jeopardy. Over his last six appearances, Washington has averaged 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 stocks in 29.7 minutes per game.

  • Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Ruled out for Sunday

    Nembhard (calf) is out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    With Nembhard unavailable, Kam Jones will have a chance to start and there will be more minutes available for T.J. McConnell and Taelon Peter. For now, Nembhard should be considered questionable for Tuesday's road game against the Knicks.

  • Klay Thompson SG | DAL

    Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Out Sunday, as expected

    Thompson (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.

    As expected, Thompson has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss the first half of Dallas' back-to-back set. The veteran should return to action Monday in New Orleans, while Khris Middleton should see increased usage Sunday.

  • Pascal Siakam PF | IND

    Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Won't play Sunday

    Siakam (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

    This will be the fourth consecutive game on the inactive list for Siakam, and with Tuesday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, Siakam could be slated for at least one more game on the bench. Kobe Brown should continue to start sans Siakam, and there will be more minutes available for Obi Toppin and Micah Potter.
