  • Ben Sheppard SG | IND

    Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Questionable for Sunday

    Sheppard is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

    The ankle sprain is a new concern for Sheppard, who hasn't missed a game since Dec. 29. With the Pacers rolling out a lengthy injury report, the team could be very shorthanded Sunday. If Sheppard is ruled out, Kam Jones and Taelon Peter would be candidates to rejoin the rotation.

  • Aaron Nesmith SF | IND

    Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Carrying questionable tag

    Nesmith is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right ankle injury management.

    Nesmith missed Thursday's game against the Suns due to management of his right ankle injury, but he did suit up Friday and posted 12 points across 34 minutes. A call on his status will likely be made closer to Sunday's tipoff at 3:30 p.m. ET. Not having Nesmith would be a big blow for a Pacers team that has more than 10 players listed on the injury report for Sunday's game.

  • T.J. McConnell PG | IND

    Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Questionable to play Sunday

    McConnell is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks due to right hamstring soreness.

    McConnell returned from a two-game absence due to a right hamstring injury to score 10 points and deliver six assists across 20 minutes in a loss to the Knicks on Friday. However, it seems he's still not at full strength, and a decision on his status will presumably be made closer to Sunday's tipoff at 3:30 p.m. ET. McConnell is averaging 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in eight appearances (one start) since the All-Star break.

  • Obi Toppin PF | IND

    Pacers' Obi Toppin: Iffy to face Milwaukee

    Toppin (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    Toppin appeared in six of Indiana's last seven outings but may sit out Sunday's contest due to right foot injury management. If the 28-year-old power forward isn't cleared to play, Kobe Brown and Micah Potter would likely see increased minutes, especially if Pascal Siakam (knee) is downgraded from doubtful to out.

  • Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Chance to return Sunday

    Jackson (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    Jackson missed the Pacers' last two games due to right calf soreness, though there's a chance he will suit up for Sunday's road contest. He's averaged 21.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break, and if Jackson is unable to play, then those minutes would presumably be absorbed by the likes of Kam Jones and Ben Sheppard (ankle), who is listed as questionable.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Questionable for Sunday

    Zubac (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    Zubac appeared in each of Indiana's last two outings following a 15-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, though he could be held out of Sunday's game in Milwaukee. If the big man isn't cleared to play, Jay Huff and Micah Potter would likely operate in expanded roles.

  • Pascal Siakam PF | IND

    Pacers' Pascal Siakam: Unlikely to play Sunday

    Siakam (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

    It appears as though Siakam will be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game as he continues to rehab from a right knee sprain. Kobe Brown has started each of the Pacers' last two games and figures to remain in an elevated role for as long as Siakam is out of action.

  • Dru Smith SG | MIA

    Heat's Dru Smith: Good to go vs. Orlando

    Smith (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.

    Smith drew the probable tag for Saturday's game due to a right hip contusion, and as expected, he has been given the green light to play. He has played at least 21 minutes in four of his last five outings, and over that span he has averaged 6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.4 steals over 21.0 minutes per game.

  • Ryan Rollins SG | MIL

    Bucks' Ryan Rollins: Dishes out eight dimes vs. Atlanta

    Rollins amassed 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 122-99 loss to the Hawks.

    Rollins led the Bucks in both points and assists during Saturday's loss, and he helped Milwaukee keep things close with 15 points in the first half. He came off the bench against Miami on Thursday but was back in the starting lineup due to the absence of Ousmane Dieng (illness). Rollins has averaged 15.5 points, 7.7 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 threes and 1.5 steals over 33.7 minutes per game in his last six outings, but he would likely revert to a bench role against the Pacers on Sunday if Dieng were cleared to return.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable to face OKC

    Edwards is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to right knee soreness.

    Edwards was also listed as questionable ahead of Friday's win over the Warriors, though he was cleared to play and posted 42 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes. If the superstar guard is ruled out Sunday, Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu would be candidates for increased roles.
