Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Passive performance Friday
Sheppard finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 131-118 loss to the Wizards.
Sheppard continues to be largely underwhelming, despite the fact that his role appears relatively secure, something that can't be said for many of his teammates. In 13 games over the past month, he has averaged 7.5 points and 0.5 three-pointers in 18.0 minutes per contest. Although there is a chance he suits up on most nights moving forward, his overall ceiling is too low to warrant significant fantasy attention.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Back to bench Friday
Sheppard is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Bucks on Friday.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Passive again Saturday
Sheppard recorded eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 victory over Atlanta.
Sheppard continues to do very little with his time on the floor, scoring in single digits for the 15th straight game. Despite featuring in the rotation on a regular basis, Sheppard has been unable to make any sort of noise when it comes to fantasy value. During that span, he has averaged just 5.5 points and 1.3 three-pointers in 17.1 minutes per game.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Rotates to bench
Sheppard isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Sheppard drew a rare start Saturday while the Pacers rested several key contributors, but he'll shift back to his usual bench role Monday night. The Belmont product is averaging 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his last five games as a reserve.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Rough season continues
Sheppard accumulated five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Monday's 98-96 victory over the Celtics.
Sheppard continues to do very little with his time on the floor, having now scored in single digits in six of his past seven games. During that time, he has averaged just 7.0 points per game, adding 1.6 three-pointers and 1.3 assists, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard leagues. At this stage, he holds no value outside of deeper formats.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Scores eight points in loss
Sheppard posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 135-127 loss to the Magic.
With Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) expected to be out a while, Sheppard could be more involved on the wings in Indiana, making him someone to monitor in deeper formats. Over his last three outings, he's shooting 52.6 percent from the field for averages of 9.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes per contest.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Puts up 12 points in return
Sheppard (calf) registered 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes in Wednesday's 112-110 loss to the Magic.
Sheppard had started in six of his prior eight appearances before missing time due to a calf strain, but the third-year wing was deployed off the bench Wednesday in his return from an 11-game absence. He provided the Pacers with some quality scoring on the second unit, but his stat line was otherwise lacking in supplementary production. With Indiana now as healthy as it's been all season on the wing and at point guard, Sheppard may not have the opportunity to see his minutes pick up even once he's fully ramped back up from the calf injury.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Available against Magic
Sheppard (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Sheppard was last seen during the Dec. 3 loss to the Nuggets, but he's recovered from a left calf strain and is ready for game action. With the Pacers a bit healthier now than they were the last time Sheppard was available, the guard is ticketed for a reserve role Wednesday. Sheppard has averaged 5.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.3 minutes per tilt across 11 games off the bench this season.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Iffy for Wednesday
Sheppard (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3, but he's currently listed as day-to-day. If he's able to give it a go Wednesday, the Pacers will likely monitor his minutes closely.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Won't play Monday
Sheppard is out for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left calf strain.
The Pacers had initially upgraded Sheppard to questionable before ruling out the guard, suggesting his return is imminent. With Sheppard out Monday, T.J. McConnell should pick up a few extra minutes in the Indiana backcourt.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Chance to return Monday
Sheppard (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston.
Sheppard hasn't appeared in a game since suffering a Grade 1 calf strain Dec. 3. However, he has a chance to make his return to the hardwood Monday. Even if he's available, Sheppard would likely have his minutes monitored.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Remaining out Saturday
Sheppard (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Heat.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Remains out indefinitely

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: To miss at least 10 more days
Sheppard has a Grade 1 left calf strain and will miss at least 10 more days, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Sheppard is set for an extended absence due to the calf injury after averaging 6.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 25.0 minutes per game in his first 22 regular-season appearances (11 starts). With Aaron Nesmith (knee) also sidelined, Ethan Thompson, T.J. McConnell and Garrison Mathews are candidates for increased playing time.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: No timetable for return
Head coach Rick Carlisle said Friday that the Pacers hope Sheppard's (calf) injury isn't a long-term issue, but he remains without a timetable for return, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Carlisle said that while the team hopes it's not a long-term problem, the Pacers don't quite know the severity of Sheppard's injury yet. He's dealing with a left calf strain. T.J. McConnell, Johnny Furphy and Garrison Mathews will likely see more action until Sheppard returns.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Out with calf strain
Sheppard is out for Friday's game against the Bulls with a left calf strain.
This is a new injury for Sheppard, who's now going to be out for the first time this season. Calf strains have a tendency to be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, but since the Pacers haven't offered a timeline for a return, Sheppard can be deemed day-to-day for the time being. His absence should enhance T.J. McConnell's streaming appeal.
