McConnell supplied three points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 victory over the Mavericks.

Rotowire
McConnell (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
During Saturday's loss to the Hawks, McConnell sustained a right ankle sprain, during which he played less than one minute. The veteran point guard injured the same ankle in February and missed two outings, though he has yet to miss time due to the new ankle sprain.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
McConnell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a right ankle sprain.
McConnell was able to play through this same injury Monday against the Bulls but saw just nine minutes with six points and one assist. If he's unable to go, guys like Ben Sheppard and Quenton Jackson could pick up a handful of minutes, but that also hinges on the availability of Tyrese Haliburton (hip), who is currently listed as questionable.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
McConnell (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.
McConnell suffered a sprained right ankle during Saturday's game against the Hawks and is uncertain to play Monday. It is worth noting that McConnell suffered a sprain to the same ankle in February, which forced him to miss two games. If he is unable to go, Andrew Nembhard figures to see a very significant role, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hip) is also ruled out.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Won't return Saturday
Rotowire
McConnell has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right ankle sprain.
McConnell played less than a minute before going down in the first quarter with an injury to the same ankle that he hurt in February, resulting in him missing two games. He will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but McConnell is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game against the Bulls. Quenton Jackson could serve as the primary backup at point guard to Andrew Nembhard with McConnell done for the night and with Tyrese Haliburton (hip) already ruled out in advance of the contest.

Rotowire
McConnell went to the locker room in the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right ankle sprain and is questionable to return, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.
McConnell appears to have tweaked the same ankle that caused him to miss two games in late February. Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker should see an uptick in playing time off the bench for as long as McConnell is out of the game.

Rotowire
McConnell (ankle) is deemed questionable to play Friday against Miami, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

If McConnell can't play, expect Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard to have increased roles until he returns.

McConnell sprained his right ankle during Saturday's 129-111 win over the Clippers. He's considered day-to-day moving forward, and his next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Raptors.

Rotowire
McConnell will not return to Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.

He concludes the game with 13 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and a steal in 14 minutes of action.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Plays well in limited minutes
Rotowire
McConnell logged seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound and six assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 loss to New York.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Strong showing off bench
Rotowire
McConnell finished Wednesday's 133-119 victory over Detroit with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 21 minutes off the bench.
The veteran guard hasn't played more than 21 minutes in a game since Dec. 22, while the 14 points represented his best scoring effort since he erupted for 30 against the Hornets on Dec. 8. McConnell's consistent defensive production has kept him on the deep-league fantasy radar, however. He's recorded at least one steal in six straight games, averaging 8.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 boards and 1.7 steals during that span in just 17.3 minutes a contest.
McConnell finished Tuesday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers with 10 points (5-11 FG), one rebound, eight assists and one steal over 21 minutes.
With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, Ben Sheppard moved into the starting lineup, but McConnell is likely to offer for more streaming upside if Indiana's franchise player misses more time -- coach Rick Carlisle said Tuesday that Haliburton is day-to-day. McConnell has been a reliable playmaker for the Pacers this season with 4.5 assists in 19.3 minutes per game across 40 regular-season appearances.
