Buddy Hield Stats

Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard declined to comment if Buddy Hield would remain with the organization moving ahead. The 30-year-old finished the 2022-23 campaign by averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals. He also shot 42.5% from deep. Indiana is in rebuilding mode, so parting ways with Hield, who has one year left on his contract before hitting the open market, could be on the horizon. However, Hield will draw plenty of interest from teams around the NBA and is expected to remain a productive fantasy option regardless of where he is next season. His durability over the years is another feather in his cap.

Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran guard has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. Hield is expected to return on Friday and play a bigger role in the rotation. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Myles Turner and Tyrese Haliburton might be done for the season. If that's true, Hield is going to see a significant boost in fantasy value for the rest of the season.

Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a shame considering Hield has played in every game this season until this point. Luckily, this shouldn't be a long absence considering he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence should mean Jordan Nwora and T.J. McConnell will see increased roles. Nwora is looking like a great streaming option after a 33-point performance on Saturday.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Buddy Hield (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday's meeting with Milwaukee. He will need to shake off left foot soreness to avoid missing his first game of the season. Hield struggled badly in the last game Monday against Detroit and logged only 22 minutes. Jordan Nwora put in a very good performance off the bench Monday and could now get a further opportunity to impress if Hield can't play Thursday. Aaron Nesmith and Andrew Nembhard should also get all the minutes they can handle.
