Suffers hamstring injury Toppin suffered a right hamstring injury during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Toppin left the game in the third quarter and did not return due to what was originally described as a right leg injury. Head coach Rick Carlisle clarified postgame that Toppin's injury was to his hamstring, and he will undergo imaging, with the hopes of it being nothing serious. Jarace Walker and Tony Bradley could see expanded roles if Toppin is forced to miss time.

Won't return vs. Minnesota Toppin won't return to Sunday's game against Minnesota due to right leg soreness, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Toppin exited the game with 3:11 remaining in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll finish with nine points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes. Jarace Walker and Tony Bradley are candidates for an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.

Near double-double in loss Toppin posted 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Toppin finished tied for second on the Pacers in scoring with 13 points while leading them in rebounding (9). Bennedict Mathurin (foot) didn't play the fourth quarter in Saturday's loss, and if he is unable to go when Indiana visits Minnesota less than 24 hours later, Toppin could be next in line to start.

Pours in 20 points off bench Toppin amassed 20 points (8-18 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime loss to the Thunder.

Impact Indiana didn't get much out of their centers Thursday, so coach Rick Carlisle leaned on some smaller lineups with Jarace Walker and Toppin both getting extended looks. Carlisle is still figuring out some rotation questions, and Toppin certainly made a strong statement that he'd like to be more involved with the way he played Thursday. His fantasy managers couldn't have asked for a better start.

Impact Pascal Siakam is returning to the lineup Monday, forcing Toppin to play from the bench. Toppin will be Siakam's top backup at power forward to begin the 2025-26 season, and he could see a boost in minutes as a small-ball center following the departure of Myles Turner.
