Still, he led all players in scoring Saturday and has tallied at least 15 points in both of his appearances this summer.

While he finished with inefficient shooting splits, the 26-year-old forward stuffed the stat sheet and was still Indiana's third-leading scorer. Slawson also led all players in blocks and assists while finishing third on the Pacers in rebounds.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Unavailable Friday
Rotowire
The Pacers list Slawson (two-way) out for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Despite playing 24 minutes in the Pacers' previous game Wednesday against the Bulls, Slawson will take a seat Friday as Indiana aims to preserve his availability moving forward. After Friday's contest, the two-way player will be eligible to play in each of Indiana's remaining five games and could be a worthy pickup for fantasy managers looking for aid in the defensive categories. Since signing with Indiana on Feb. 28, Slawson has appeared in eight games at the NBA level and has averaged 5.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers in 21.5 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Receives just four minutes in loss
Rotowire
Slawson registered zero points (0-1 FG), one assist and one steal in four minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Clippers.
Slawson had averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per game over his five appearances after signing a two-way deal with the Pacers, but despite being active Friday, he was barely featured in the rotation. The third-year forward will be eligible to play in seven of Indiana's remaining eight games, but unless the Pacers shut down multiple other key players, he could struggle to see enough minutes to make for a reliable fantasy option.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Inactive again Wednesday
Rotowire
The Pacers list Slawson (two-way) as out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
Indiana will have the same 12 players available Wednesday as they did in Monday's 128-126 win over Orlando, so Slawson and the Pacers' other two two-way players (Ethan Thompson and Taelon Peter) will head to the bench. The 16-56 Pacers have little at stake beyond draft positioning as the season winds down, so expect the team to limit or hold out multiple veteran players with minor injuries in their remaining nine games after Wednesday. Slawson will be eligible to play in eight of those contests, and he could be worth a look in fantasy leagues if the Pacers do in fact opt to rest other key rotation options. Through his first five appearances with Indiana, Slawson has averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Remaining out Monday
Rotowire
The Pacers list Slawson (two-way) as out for Monday's game against the Magic.
Twelve players will suit up for the Pacers on Monday, and that will be enough for the club to hold Slawson out for the night in order to preserve his availability moving forward. The two-way player will be inactive for the second game in a row, but after Monday, he'll be eligible to play in eight of Indiana's remaining 10 contests. Since signing his two-way deal in late February, Slawson has been productive when he's been included in the rotation. Over his five appearances (two starts) for the Pacers, Slawson has averaged 7.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers in 25.6 minutes.

Pacers' Jalen Slawson: Inactive Saturday
Rotowire
Slawson (two-way) is listed out for Saturday's game against San Antonio.
Slawson has made waves recently for the shorthanded Pacers, having averaged 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 2.0 blocks and 29.5 minutes over his last four appearances (two starts). However, Slawson has a limited amount of availability for the rest of the season due to his status as a two-way player, so the Pacers will elect to keep him inactive Saturday with Indiana expected to get multiple players back from injuries. After Saturday, Slawson will be eligible to play in eight of the Pacers' remaining 11 games.
