Indiana Pacers News and Rumors - NBA

Pascal Siakam - Game-high 30 points in return Siakam (hamstring) recorded 30 points (12-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact The All-Star forward made his first appearance of the second half of the season, putting at least 30 points for the 11th time in 2025-26. With a lost season for the Pacers slowly beginning to wind down, it's possible Siakam's availability will remain sporadic throughout the course of the stretch run. That said, he's locked in as Indiana's top scoring option, with Siakam averaging 24.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.2 minutes per contest his last 11 games.

Andrew Nembhard - Big double-double in return Nembhard (back) closed Sunday's 134-130 loss to the Mavericks with 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, 11 assists and one steal across 29 minutes.

Impact After sitting out Friday's loss in Washington, Nembhard recorded his ninth double-double of the season Sunday. The last-place Pacers have limited his availability of late, but Nembhard has been quite effective when active for fantasy managers. Over his last 12 appearances, Nembhard has averaged 16.8 points, 8.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game.

Jarace Walker - Another productive showing Walker logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 134-130 loss to Dallas.

Impact The last-place Pacers continue to reel in the standings, but they're getting promising results from Walker when he gets the chance to start. Walker has started 10 games since the start of the new year, averaging 17.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.3 minutes per game during this stretch. With Ivica Zubac (ankle) and Aaron Nesmith (ankle) both likely out until March, Walker remains close to a must-roster fantasy player in most formats.

Ben Sheppard - Coming off bench Sunday Sheppard is not in the Pacers' starting lineup against the Mavericks on Sunday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Sheppard has started in each of the Pacers' last three games and averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals over 22.0 minutes per game over that span. He will revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest due to the returns of Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam.

Micah Potter - Available to play Potter (ankle) will play Sunday against the Mavs, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Potter will continue to play through the ankle issue Sunday. The fifth-year big man has scored in double figures in four straight games, but his minutes could dip Sunday with Pascal Siakam (hamstring) back in action.

Kam Jones - Available to play Jones (back) will play Sunday against the Mavs, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Jones will power through the back issue, although with Andrew Nembhard (back) set to return, Jones' minutes could see a reduction Sunday. Jones is averaging 3.2 points and 2.0 assists per game on the season.

Andrew Nembhard - Will play Sunday Nembhard (back) will play Sunday against the Mavericks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Nembhard skipped Friday's loss to the Wizards with that game being the second of a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action Sunday evening and should see his usual workload. With Nembhard back in the mix, Kam Jones' minutes could dip.

Aaron Nesmith - Out for at least one week Head coach Rick Carlisle relayed Sunday that Nesmith (ankle) will be sidelined for at least one week, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Nesmith was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks due to a right ankle sprain, and his next chance to play seemingly won't be until Sunday, March 1 against the Grizzlies. Kam Jones, Ben Sheppard, Quenton Jackson and Kobe Brown will all have the opportunity to take on expanded roles in Nesmith's absence.

Pascal Siakam - Will play Sunday Siakam (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's meeting with the Mavericks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact Siakam is back after a three-game stint on the sidelines, which will likely result in Ben Sheppard or Kam Jones returning to the second unit, and fewer minutes for Kobe Brown. Siakam is averaging 23.7 points, 6.7 reboudns, 3.9 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.1 steals per game this season, so make sure you've got him active.

T.J. McConnell - Not playing Sunday McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact McConnell was able to play through a right hamstring issue against the Wizards on Friday. However, the injury will sideline the veteran point guard for the third time in four games, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the 76ers, who he spent the first four years of his NBA career with. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson should both see a slight uptick in minutes in McConnell's absence.

Andrew Nembhard - Could play Sunday Nembhard (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Nembhard was held out of the second leg of the Pacers' back-to-back set Friday against the Wizards while managing a lower-back injury, but the fourth-year pro has the chance to return for Sunday's contest against Dallas. He has averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals over 30.6 minutes per game over his last five outings.

He's recently taken on an expanded role due to the absence of Pascal Siakam (hamstring), so Kobe Brown and Quenton Jackson would be in line for more minutes if Potter is unable to play Sunday.
