Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Questionable to face Philadelphia
Nembhard (neck) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.
Nembhard is still dealing with soreness in his neck and could miss a second straight game. The 26-year-old guard's absence would open up additional minutes for guys like Quenton Jackson, Braden Smith and Jarace Walker, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is downgraded from questionable to out.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Iffy for Wednesday
Haliburton is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to left hamstring tightness.
The left hamstring issue is a new concern for Haliburton, who has yet to miss a game this season. If the star floor general joins T.J. McConnell (hamstring) on the inactive list, Quenton Jackson and Braden Smith would likely see increased burn.

Pacers' Obi Toppin: Probable for Wednesday
Toppin is probable to play Wednesday against the 76ers due to a left hand sprain.
Toppin is dealing with a sprained shooting hand, but it's not expected to keep him out of Wednesday's game. Through the first four games of the season, Toppin is averaging 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 triples per contest on 55/40/74 shooting splits.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Probable for Wednesday
Nesmith (hamstring) is probable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Nesmith has been slowly ramping up after missing some of the preseason and Indiana's first regular-season game with a hamstring injury, so it'll be interesting to see if his minutes are bumped up Wednesday. Through the first three games of the year, Nesmith is averaging 11.7 points and 2.0 triples in 20 minutes per contest.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Another absence coming
McConnell (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
The veteran point guard continues to battle a hamstring strain. His next chance to make his season debut comes Friday in Miami.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Won't play Wednesday
Zubac (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Zubac isn't ready to return from an ankle sprain, but the veteran big man remains day-to-day. Jay Huff figures to continue starting for the Pacers in the meantime, with Obi Toppin (hand) also helping plug up the hole at center.

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton: Keeps rolling Monday
Haliburton contributed 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee.
On top of his strong all-around performance, it's worth noting Haliburton played both ends of this back-to-back set with no restrictions following his Achilles surgery. The star point guard hasn't missed a beat in his comeback season, averaging 21.8 points, 9.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per game so far in 2026-27.

Pacers' Quenton Jackson: Plays 27 minutes in loss
Jackson contributed four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Bucks.
Jackson struggled to make an impact offensively despite receiving significant playing time with Andrew Nembhard (neck) unavailable. The guard attempted just three shots and failed to record a steal or block, limiting his fantasy contributions. Jackson could continue seeing additional minutes while Indiana's backcourt remains shorthanded, but his inconsistent scoring makes him a risky option outside deeper leagues.

Pacers' Jarace Walker: Grabs eight boards in loss
Walker registered 10 points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Bucks.
Walker struggled with his shooting efficiency but delivered a useful performance across multiple categories while playing a season-high 29 minutes. The third-year forward scored nine points in the first half before cooling off considerably after halftime. With Indiana dealing with several injuries, Walker could continue receiving expanded opportunities, though his inconsistent shooting remains a concern for fantasy managers.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Struggles in start
Huff recorded six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to Milwaukee.
Huff drew the start at center with Ivica Zubac (ankle) sidelined but failed to build on his impressive performance against Brooklyn on Sunday. After recording 14 points and three blocks against the Nets, Huff went scoreless from beyond the arc and failed to register a block Monday. He could continue seeing increased minutes if Zubac remains unavailable, making him a potential streaming option for managers seeking blocks and three-pointers.

Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Walking without boot
The Pacers don't have a timetable for Zubac's return after he suffered a left ankle injury Sunday against Brooklyn, but he was able to walk without a boot Monday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Coach Rick Carlisle stated that the big man had a lot of swelling immediately following Sunday's game, but that Zubac was doing better Monday. The team will presumably continue to evaluate him over the next few days to determine when he can return to game action. In the meantime, look for Jay Huff, who drew the start at center Monday night against Milwaukee, to see opportunities with the first unit.

Pacers' Jay Huff: Starting Monday
Huff will start Monday's game against the Bucks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Ivica Zubac (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's clash, opening the door for Huff to start at center. He started the second half of Sunday's matchup after Zubac went down and put together a strong final line, finishing with 14 points, two rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 21 minutes.

Pacers' Kelly Oubre: Drawing start Monday
Oubre will start Monday's game against the Bucks, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Andrew Nembhard (neck/back) has been ruled out Monday, opening up a spot in the starting five for Oubre. The Kansas product also started the 2026-27 opener and finished with four points, two rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes against New Orleans.

Pacers' Ben Sheppard: Will undergo surgery
Sheppard is scheduled for surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee Wednesday, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Sheppard was diagnosed with a torn left meniscus Friday, and the team has since determined that he'll require surgery. A timetable for the guard's return should start to come into focus after the procedure.

Pacers' Aaron Nesmith: Available Monday
Nesmith (hamstring) will play Monday night against the Bucks, Tony East of Forbes.com reports.
Nesmith has been dealing with a nagging left hamstring issue, but it's a positive sign that he was able to take the court Sunday, and he'll now play in the second half of the team's back-to-back Monday after previously being tagged as probable. The Pacers have been careful with his workload in the early going of the 2026-27 season, keeping him around the 20-minute mark in each of his first two appearances.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Out vs. Bucks
Nembhard (neck/back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Nembhard picked up a neck injury during Sunday's game against Brooklyn, though coach Rick Carlisle noted that it's a back issue that will force the guard to miss Monday's clash. T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (knee) and Johnny Furphy (knee) are also unavailable, presumably leading to additional opportunities for Kelly Oubre and Quenton Jackson in the backcourt against the Bucks.

Pacers' Andrew Nembhard: Questionable for Monday
Nembhard (neck) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Nembhard tallied 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Indiana's win over Brooklyn on Sunday, but it appears he picked up a neck issue in the process. If he's unable to suit up for the second half of the Pacers' back-to-back set, Quenton Jackson and Jalen Slawson would likely see increased playing time.

Pacers' T.J. McConnell: Out again Monday
McConnell (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
McConnell's 2026-27 debut will have to wait at least one more game as he continues battling a hamstring strain. His next opportunity to suit up will be against the 76ers on Wednesday.
