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

Comes close to triple-double McConnell ended with 10 points (5-7 FG), nine rebounds and eight assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 162-109 victory over Washington.

Impact McConnell was limited to only 17 minutes in what turned out to be one of the biggest blowout wins of the 2024-25 NBA season, but the veteran floor general found a way to stuff the stat sheet admirably. McConnell ended just one rebound and two assists away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the season. McConnell remains a reliable contributor for the Pacers as the floor general of the second unit, but that role limits his fantasy upside considerably.

Impact McConnell appeared to tweak his right ankle and limped to the bench before heading to the locker room. If the veteran point guard is unable to return against Minnesota, Ben Sheppard and Bennedict Mathurin are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Logs game-high four swipes McConnell recorded 12 points (6-9 FG), seven assists, four steals, two rebounds and one block across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 115-114 win over the Bucks.

Impact McConnell produced an extremely efficient outing in Tuesday's win, leading the second unit in assists and steals in the win. The veteran point guard racked up a game-high four steals, marking his 18th outing with multiple swipes across 61 regular-season appearances. McConnell recorded nine total minutes over his last two outings while nursing a right ankle sprain, though he played 21 minutes Tuesday, which bodes well for his availability moving forward.

Good to go Tuesday McConnell (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Tony East of WTHR Channel 13 Indianapolis reports.

Impact McConnell sustained the right ankle sprain during Saturday's loss to the Hawks, during which he played less than one minute. The veteran point guard injured the same ankle in February and missed two outings, though he has yet to miss time due to the new ankle sprain. McConnell was able to suit up in Monday's loss to Chicago as well, racking up six points and an assist across only nine minutes.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday McConnell is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks with a left ankle sprain.

Impact McConnell was able to play through this same injury Monday against the Bulls, but saw just nine minutes with six points and one assist. If he's unable to go, guys like Ben Sheppard and Quenton Jackson could pick up a handful of minutes, but that also hinges on the availability of Tyrese Haliburton (hip) who is currently listed as questionable.

Set to play Monday McConnell (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday night against the Bulls.

Impact The Pacers slapped a questionable tag on McConnell leading up to Monday's matchup due to a right ankle issue, but it won't force him to miss Monday's game. He's averaging 8.4 points, 1.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five appearances.

Iffy for Monday McConnell (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact McConnell suffered a sprained right ankle during Saturday's game against the Hawks and is uncertain to play Monday. It is worth noting that McConnell suffered a sprain to the same ankle in February, which forced him to miss two games. If he is unable to go, Andrew Nembhard figures to see a very significant role, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hip) is also ruled out.

Won't return Saturday McConnell has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Hawks due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact McConnell suffered the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game, and it was to the same ankle that led to him missing two games in February. He will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he is in jeopardy of missing Monday's game against the Bulls. Quenton Jackson and Bennedict Mathurin will continue to see increased minutes off the bench for the rest of Saturday's game due to the absence of McConnell.

Impact McConnell appears to have tweaked the same ankle that caused him to miss two games in late February. Bennedict Mathurin and Jarace Walker should see an uptick in playing time off the bench for as long as McConnell is out of the game.

Leads way off bench in defeat McConnell ended with nine points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six assists, four rebounds and two steals over 26 minutes in Thursday's 124-118 loss to Atlanta.

Impact McConnell once again provided a lift off the Indiana bench Thursday, leading all Pacers bench players in scoring and assists while swiping a team-high pair of steals in a balanced performance. McConnell has put forth at least nine points and six assists in 10 outings, hauling in four or more boards for the 14th time.

Questionable for Friday McConnell (ankle) is deemed questionable to play Friday against Miami, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact McConnell missed the last two games due to his ankle injury, but making the trip to Miami suggests he is close to returning. McConnell has only missed three games this season, averaging 9.8 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks over 18.4 minutes.
