Justin Champagnie - Questionable for Sunday Updating a previous report, Champagnie (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Champagnie exited Friday's win over Indiana early due to right knee soreness but could return Sunday. If he's ultimately ruled out, Will Riley could see an uptick in playing time.

Aaron Nesmith - Not playing Sunday Nesmith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Nesmith will miss a second consecutive game while tending to a right ankle sprain, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the 76ers. Ben Sheppard and Kobe Brown should operate in elevated roles in Nesmith'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.

Micah Potter - Iffy to play Sunday Potter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Potter has been working through an ankle injury since before the All-Star break but has played in each of the Pacers' last six games (one start), during which he averaged 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.2 threes over 25.2 minutes per game. 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.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

T.J. McConnell - Still nursing hamstring injury McConnell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact McConnell was cleared to return Friday from a two-game absence due to a right hamstring injury, and he ended up making his first start of the season in a 131-118 loss to the Wizards, when he logged nine points, two assists, two rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes. Kam Jones (back) and Andrew Nembhard (toe) are both listed as questionable as well, so Quenton Jackson, Ben Sheppard and Taelon Peter would be slated for larger roles depending on the Pacers' backcourt availability for Sunday's contest.
