Obi Toppin News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Questionable for Sunday Toppin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Toppin sat out Friday's 145-125 loss to the Heat due to the back issue, and with Sunday's game being the first of a back-to-back set, he may need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines. If he's out, Jarace Walker and Kobe Brown would likely see a bump in minutes.

Productive in blowout win Toppin posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 victory over the Nets.

Impact The 20 minutes were his lowest of 2026-27 through three contests, but Toppin still finished third on the team in scoring as a reserve. Following an injury-plagued 2025-26, he's been stellar so far with averages of 16.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.7 three-pointers on 58.1 / 44.4 / 83.3 shooting splits in 23.2 minutes a night. Toppin looks poised for a big year as a key piece of Indiana's bench.

Goes for 20 points off bench Toppin amassed 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-120 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Toppin started the season with a bang, scoring 20 points in just 25 minutes, despite coming off the bench. Indiana opted to use Toppin as a small-ball center option, with Jay Huff failing to leave the bench. He provided the team with energy on both ends of the floor, culminating in a strong two-way performance. The eventual return of Aaron Nesmith (hamstring) will complicate matters for Toppin, although his unique ability to play above the rim should see him maintain a role of at least 20 minutes per game.

Scores 10 off bench Toppin recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 11 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason win over Minnesota.

Impact Toppin provided efficient scoring off the bench as Indiana continued evaluating its frontcourt rotation. The veteran forward should remain a source of scoring and athleticism for the second unit, though his fantasy value will depend on his playing time.

Shines in season finale Toppin registered 21 points (7-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Pistons.

Impact A mid-season foot surgery was an unfortunate setback for Toppin, and the Pacers exercised caution with his minutes after his return. He ended up making a total of 24 appearances, posting averages of 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes per contest. This season was basically a wash for Indiana, but the team could be poised to bounce back in 2026-27 which would benefit several key contributors.
