Logs 16 minutes in return McConnell accumulated six points (2-7 FG, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 126-119 loss to the Rockets.

Impact McConnell continues to deal with a minor hamstring concern, although he was able to suit up Monday, after missing the previous game. With Indiana likely leaning into its youth, it appears as though McConnell is going to be limited to no more than 20 minutes on most nights. He can be a serviceable source of assists and steals, although should be viewed as more of a streamer than a must-roster player.

McConnell continues to see consistent burn and should remain Andrew Nembhard's primary backup.

Dealing with sore left knee McConnell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact McConnell is working through left knee soreness, which puts him in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 9. Quenton Jackson, Garrison Matthews and Ethan Thompson would be in line for more minutes off the bench if McConnell is unable to play. McConnell has averaged 9.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 16.4 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

Comes close to double-double McConnell ended Saturday's 128-109 loss to the Pelicans with 16 points (8-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 18 minutes.

Impact McConnell made the most of his minutes off the bench, missing just two shots overall and ending just two assists away from a double-double. The veteran signal-caller scored in double digits coming off the bench for the ninth time this season, and the eight assists tied his season-high output. McConnell should remain a steady presence off the bench, but his second-unit role limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Logs 15 points off bench McConnell logged 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 17 minutes during Friday's 115-105 loss to the 76ers.

Impact McConnell bounced back Friday night after shooting just three for 12 from the field over his past two games. The 33-year-old guard collected his third game this season with at least 15 points and five assists, while continuing to be a menace defensively with a pair of steals. The veteran's ceiling is capped by his lack of consistent playing time, averaging just 14.0 minutes over the past five games.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Woeful in victory Monday McConnell racked up four points (2-9 FG), one rebound and three assists over 16 minutes during Monday's 116-105 win over Sacramento.

Impact McConnell scored fewer than five points for the third time in the past four games, continuing his recent slump. During that period, he has averaged just 6.0 points, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals, leaving him well outside the top 150 in standard formats. Given his fluctuating role and lack of upside, McConnell should really be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration for those needing assists and steals.

DECEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers full line in loss McConnell amassed 14 points (7-10 FG), one rebound, six assists, one block and three steals across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact McConnell chipped in across all the major categories, continuing his recent strong play. In seven games over the past two weeks, McConnell is averaging 11.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.7 steals in just 18.6 minutes per game, good enough for top 70 value. While his role is seemingly capped at about 25 minutes, that is generally enough for him to have solid 12-team value.

DECEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to six minutes Monday McConnell was limited to six minutes during Monday's 135-119 loss to the Cavs and he finished with four points (2-3 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal.

Impact Per Tony East of Forbes.com, head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned after the game that McConnell experienced some general soreness following last weekend's back-to-back set. Although McConnell felt fine while going through Monday's warmups, he wasn't feeling right when the game started, so Carlisle opted to hold him out. Carlisle maintained that McConnell wasn't dealing with a specific injury, so it sounds like he'll be fine for Wednesday's matchup with the Nuggets.
