T.J. McConnell News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Ruled out for Tuesday McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Kings.

Impact The veteran point guard exited Sunday's loss to Portland in the fourth quarter due to right hamstring soreness and will miss Tuesday's contest with the same issue. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Phoenix. With McConnell out and Andrew Nembhard (neck/back) doubtful to play, Kam Jones, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard are all in line to see increased playing time.

Won't return Sunday McConnell will not return to Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right hamstring soreness.

Impact McConnell exited partway through the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest and will not be able to return due to a sore right hamstring. It should be mentioned that McConnell has been dealing with a right hamstring issue for some time now, most recently missing a game on Feb. 22. If he is forced to miss time, Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson could see increased minutes.

Stuck in limited role McConnell registered six points (3-6 FG), three rebounds and five assists over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 130-107 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The veteran floor general continues to produce respectable numbers on a per-minute basis, but the Pacers continue to hold back his workload. McConnell has averaged 8.8 points, 4.8 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 58.9 percent from the floor.

Modest production continues McConnell ended with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 135-114 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact McConnell continues to play limited minutes off the bench, having not played more than 20 minutes since Jan 14. Not only is his playing time down, but his availability has been spotty, at best, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing assists and steals.

Good to go Tuesday McConnell (hamstring) will play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, per Tony East of Forbes.com.

Impact After missing Sunday's loss to Dallas with a right hamstring injury, McConnell is ready to return to the floor Tuesday. Over his last 11 outings, the veteran floor general has averaged 8.6 points, 3.8 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.8 minutes per tilt.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday McConnell (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact McConnell is managing a nagging right hamstring injury that sidelined him Sunday and has kept him out of three of the past four contests. If the veteran guard -- who has operated almost exclusively off the bench this season -- is unable to suit up Tuesday, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard could see increased opportunities.

FEBRUARY 23 • Associated Press

Not playing Sunday McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact McConnell was able to play through a right hamstring issue against the Wizards on Friday. However, the injury will sideline the veteran point guard for the third time in four games, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the 76ers, who he spent the first four years of his NBA career with. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson should both see a slight uptick in minutes in McConnell's absence.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

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.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Limited minutes in starting role McConnell (hamstring) registered nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 15 minutes Friday in the Wizards' 131-118 loss to the Pacers.

Impact With Andrew Nembhard (back) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, McConnell -- who missed his second straight game due to a hamstring injury in Thursday's 112-105 loss to Washington -- picked up his first start of the season after being cleared to play. McConnell didn't end up taking on a typical starter's workload, as head coach Rick Carlisle held him out for the final 19 minutes of the contest while the 15-42 Pacers seemingly prioritized their positioning in the draft lottery over winning the game. Expect McConnell to move back into a backup role Sunday against the Mavericks if Nembhard is cleared to play.

Impact McConnell was cleared to play Friday after missing the Pacers' last two games due to a right hamstring injury, and he'll make his first start of the season due to the absence of Andrew Nembhard (back). McConnell's last start took place April 11 against the Magic, when he registered 12 points, three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block over 21 minutes.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Friday McConnell (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Wizards, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact McConnell has missed the Pacers' last two games due to right hamstring soreness. The veteran point guard has been given the green light to play in Friday's game, and he could have an expanded role in his return as Andrew Nembhard (back) is listed as doubtful. McConnell has averaged 9.6 points, 4.9 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals over 17.4 minutes per game since the new year.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Friday McConnell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact McConnell is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to right hamstring soreness. With Andrew Nembhard (back) doubtful and Kam Jones (back) questionable, the Pacers may be shorthanded in the backcourt for the second leg of this back-to-back set against Washington. Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson could see increased playing time if any of McConnell, Nembhard or Jones are ultimately ruled out.

Won't go Thursday McConnell (hamstring) is out for Thursday's game against Washington, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.

Impact McConnell will miss his second consecutive matchup while on the mend from a right hamstring issue. Kam Jones could be asked to step up in McConnell's absence, while Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson will also be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Thursday McConnell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Impact McConnell is still working through a right hamstring issue that forced him to miss the Pacers' win over the Nets on Feb. 11, which was Indiana's last game before the All-Star break. Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson would be in line for more minutes off the bench if McConnell is unable to suit up.

Sitting out Wednesday McConnell will be rested Wednesday against Brooklyn.

Impact McConnell joins a long list of Pacers getting the night off for rest for the final game before the All-Star break. With Andrew Nembhard also resting, that leaves Kam Jones and Quenton Jackson to soak up some point guard reps.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Tuesday McConnell (hamstring) has been cleared to play Tuesday against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

FEBRUARY 10 • Associated Press

Game-time call for Tuesday McConnell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to right hamstring soreness.

Impact McConnell didn't show any signs of a hamstring injury his last time on the court, but he's now in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's clash. The team should have a better idea of his status closer to tipoff.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Continues producing in limited action McConnell accumulated 10 points (5-5 FG), three rebounds, seven assists and one block across 16 minutes during Sunday's 122-104 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The veteran floor general continues to be an effective per-minute contributor for the Pacers. McConnell has averaged 8.8 points, 4.7 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 15.9 minutes per contest in his last six games, but his fantasy value is likely to remain held back by his role and lack of availability on both ends of back-to-backs.
