Indiana Pacers News and Rumors - NBA

Pascal Siakam - Scores team-high 19 points Siakam posted 19 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-12 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes in Friday's 106-104 win over the Knicks.

Impact Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance, but seven attempts from the charity stripe allowed him to boost his scoring numbers en route to leading the Pacers to an upset win. The star forward saw his streak of games with at least 20 points snap at four, but his consistent involvement on offense, both as a scorer and playmaker, gives him a strong floor until further notice.

Aaron Nesmith - Gets green light to play Nesmith (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Nesmith has received the green light to suit up, giving Indiana an important contributor on the wing. His availability should help stabilize the Pacers' perimeter rotation, while his combination of three-point shooting and defensive production offers value in category-based fantasy leagues. He should be in line for his usual role barring any restrictions.

T.J. McConnell - Good to go Friday McConnell (right hamstring strain) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact His availability gives Indiana another experienced ball-handler, although his playing time remains worth monitoring given the hamstring issue. With Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined, McConnell could see meaningful opportunities to contribute assists and steals, making him a potential streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues.

T.J. McConnell - Probable for Friday McConnell is probable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact McConnell continues to land on the injury report with a hamstring issue, but it's a positive sign that he's been listed as probable after being handed a questionable tag ahead of Indiana's previous three games. He's in line to play in a fourth consecutive game after logging a season high in minutes (14) Wednesday night against Washington.

Aaron Nesmith - Tagged questionable for Friday Nesmith (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Nesmith picked up a knee injury during Wednesday's game against Washington, and he was ultimately unable to return after being diagnosed with knee soreness. He'll likely test his knee during shootaround and pregame to determine if he can take the court Friday.

Obi Toppin - Working back from injury Toppin finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 114-101 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Toppin is a highly effective per-minute fantasy producer, but the Pacers might be easing him back into action following a recent absence due to a back injury. Over his past four appearances, Toppin has averaged 9.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 19.2 minutes per game.

Pascal Siakam - Drops 28 points in win Siakam supplied 28 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-12 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 114-101 win over Washington.

Impact Siakam didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance, though he got to the charity stripe frequently and finished with a game-high scoring total. The star forward was also second on the Pacers in rebounds and dished out at least five assists for a third straight game. He's reached the 20-point threshold in four consecutive contests, shooting 53.1 percent from the field over that stretch.

Aaron Nesmith - Won't return Wednesday Nesmith will not return to Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness. He'll finish with two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 22 min...

Impact Nesmith struggled mightily before exiting Wednesday's contest, and his next chance tp suit up will come Friday against New York. If he's forced to miss time, Jarace Walker and Quenton Jackson would be candidates for increased burn.

Braden Smith - Demoted to bench Smith is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact The struggling Smith is giving way to veteran Kelly Oubre in the first unit. After double-doubling in his first career start earlier this season, Smith has come crashing back to earth and been held scoreless in consecutive starts for the Pacers.

Kelly Oubre Jr. - Back in starting lineup Oubre is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact After making a pair of reserve appearances, Oubre is back in the starting lineup following a recent absence with a calf injury. The veteran swingman has averaged 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest over five games as a starter this season.

T.J. McConnell - Cleared to play Wednesday McConnell (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game versus Washington.

Impact McConnell recently made his 2026-27 campaign debut after missing the first nine regular-season games due to a hamstring injury. While the veteran will be on the floor for a third consecutive contest, the team will likely remain cautious regarding his workload.

Tyrese Haliburton - To miss at least 10 more days Head coach Rick Carlisle said Wednesday that Haliburton (hamstring) will miss at least 10 more days, Alex Golden of SI.com reports.

Impact Haliburton is still recovering from a left hamstring strain and will need more time to ramp up. Andrew Nembhard should continue seeing increased on-ball duties in Haliburton's stead, while Quenton Jackson and Braden Smith are also candidates for increased burn.

T.J. McConnell - Iffy for Wednesday McConnell is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to a strained right hamstring.

Impact The Pacers continue to monitor the veteran floor general's status after he missed the onset of the campaign. More playing time at point guard would be available for Quenton Jackson if McConnell winds up sitting out Wednesday.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Aaron Nesmith - Scores 18 points in loss Nesmith tallied 18 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 34 minutes in Monday's 125-122 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Nesmith connected on four three-pointers while maintaining a substantial workload, but his overall shooting efficiency remained inconsistent. Nesmith remains a useful perimeter scoring option, particularly in deeper category leagues, with his production heavily dependent on three-point volume and defensive contributions. A bit more consistency in the scoring column would go a long way, as he's scored in double digits in six of his last eight games but has surpassed the 15-point threshold three times in that span.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Andrew Nembhard - Hands out 12 assists Monday Nembhard registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and a block across 34 minutes in Monday's 125-122 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Nembhard delivered an excellent playmaking performance, recording 12 assists while committing just three turnovers. His scoring output remained modest, but his heavy workload and double-digit assists supported his fantasy value. Nembhard continues to offer considerable upside as a facilitator, particularly in category formats, although his limited scoring volume can restrict his overall ceiling. But until Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) returns, Nembhard should be the Pacers' go-to playmaking option, which helps explain his 8.5 assists per game over his last six appearances.

3 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ivica Zubac - Provides 16 points Monday Zubac posted 16 points (5-7 FG, 6-8 FT) and three rebounds across 28 minutes in Monday's 125-122 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Zubac scored efficiently around the basket, converting five of seven field-goal attempts and making six free throws. However, his three rebounds were disappointing for a starting center, and he recorded no defensive stats. Zubac's fantasy value remains closely tied to rebounding and field-goal efficiency, making this a relatively underwhelming performance despite his scoring contribution.
