Ben Sheppard - Iffy for Wednesday Sheppard (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact 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.

T.J. McConnell - Probable for Wednesday McConnell is probable for Wednesday's game against the Magic with left hamstring soreness.

Impact McConnell returned from a one-game absence Monday against Houston, finishing with six points, one rebound, four assists and one steal. He's still day-to-day with mild soreness, but he intends to keep pushing through it.

Impact Eason continues to supply reliable numbers in the defensive categories, and he should stick with the first unit as long as Alperen Sengun (calf) remains sidelined. Over his last five games (three starts), Eason has averaged 11.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks in 21.9 minutes per game in his last five outings.

Impact Amid what's been a rough year for the Pacers so far, Siakam has been a mainstay in the lineup with dependable production. The star forward has played all but one of Indiana's first 34 contests, averaging 23.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 33.8 minutes per game.
