Indiana Pacers News and Rumors - NBA

Aaron Nesmith - Probable for Sunday Nesmith (hamstring) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn.

Impact Nesmith made his regular-season debut in Friday's loss to the Mavericks, ditching his questionable tag due to a left hamstring strain. He played limited minutes off the bench in his return and could be on a minutes restriction if he's cleared to play Sunday. If the 27-year-old wing remains limited or is ultimately ruled out, Jarace Walker and Kelly Oubre could see increased minutes.

Impact McConnell has yet to make his season debut for the Pacers as he tries to work his way back from a hamstring strain. His next chance to make his season debut will be in the second leg of this back-to-back set Monday at Milwaukee.

Pascal Siakam - Scores 23 points in blowout loss Siakam supplied 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), three rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Siakam again finished as Indiana's leading scorer, but he also had a game-high five turnovers and didn't deliver many peripheral stats in the blowout loss. Managers can anticipate a more robust stat line when the Pacers head to Brooklyn on Sunday to face the Nets.

Ivica Zubac - Pulls down 11 rebounds in loss Zubac amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to Dallas.

Impact Zubac was impressive on the offensive glass, pulling down four rebounds on that end, and this was his second straight game with double digit boards. He also only got to the line twice, so the 1-for-2 mark at the stripe won't do your fantasy team much damage. Zubac will be a solid field goal percentage booster and an elite source of rebounds this season.

Tyrese Haliburton - Nets 18 points with full line Haliburton recorded 18 points (8-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 121-105 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Haliburton struggled from distance, missing all four of his three-point attempts, and he wasn't alone, with the Pacers going just 7-for-32 from beyond the arc. It was a bad loss, but Haliburton still delivered a quality stat line. The Pacers will look to get things back on track Sunday in Brooklyn.

Ben Sheppard - Out Friday, no timetable for return Sheppard (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Mavericks and there's no timetable for his return, according to head coach Rick Carlisle per Alex Golden of SI.com.

Impact Sheppard has yet to play for the Pacers this season, and the lack of a clear timetable for his return suggests he'll remain sidelined for a few more games, even in a best-case scenario. Look for Quenton Jackson and Jarace Walker to continue getting extra minutes while Sheppard stays on the sidelines.
