Pascal Siakam Expected to Suit Up Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Chicago and appears on track to remain in the lineup. The veteran has averaged 22.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals in 31.4 minutes over his last five games and should continue handling a heavy offensive workload with Andrew Nembhard (back), Aaron Nesmith (neck), and Jarace Walker (back) sidelined. Siakam remains a must-start while Indiana is shorthanded, and his presence should help keep the rotation steady alongside Obi Toppin (foot) and Jay Huff.

Andrew Nembhard Sitting Out Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) will sit out Wednesday's game against Chicago for injury management after playing in five straight contests. Nembhard had taken on a bigger playmaking role lately with multiple double-digit assist games, so Indiana will need to adjust with him out of the backcourt rotation. With T.J. McConnell (hamstring) also out, Quenton Jackson and Ethan Thompson could see expanded minutes, with Jackson coming off a 10-point outing in 20 minutes. Kam Jones and Taelon Peter could also factor into the guard rotation if Indiana needs extra depth. In championship week, Nembhard's absence could push fantasy managers to find short-term guard help.

Pascal Siakam Iffy for Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Miami Heat. After appearing in four consecutive games, Siakam might take Sunday off to manage his right knee injury. Center Jay Huff is the only starter not listed as questionable for Sunday's game, meaning we could again see a lot of Kobe Brown, Jalen Slawson, and Quenton Jackson. Slawson is a compelling player capable of influencing all parts of the game if given enough minutes.

Jarace Walker Won't Return Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Jarace Walker (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sustained a head injury in the first quarter and is being evaluated for a concussion. Kobe Brown started the second half in Walker's place. Obi Toppin may get more usage as well due to his absence. The two are also likely going to be more involved in Sunday's game against Miami if Walker has to miss time.

Aaron Nesmith to Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. As expected, Nesmith will play through his lower back pain. It shouldn't be something that impacts his ability on the court. The 26-year-old has been producing solid numbers as of late. Over the last eight games, Nesmith is averaging 17.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 30.1 minutes per game. He's usually reliable enough to be trusted as a low-end streaming option. He has finished with 14 points or more in five of his last six games.

Obi Toppin is Cleared for Friday's Game

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (back) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Toppin will shed the questionable tag and suit up despite dealing with back pain. This minor injury shouldn't impact his ability to play his regular role in the rotation. This season, Toppin is averaging 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 17.0 minutes per game. The 27-year-old is a solid contributor, but his overall upside is limited, with him only playing minutes in the teens. Toppin remains a deep league fantasy option, but doesn't offer a ton of upside outside of that.

Aaron Nesmith Expected to Play Friday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (back) is probable for Friday's game against the Clippers after being listed with lower back soreness following recent appearances on the injury report for other minor issues. Nesmith is expected to maintain his starting role and offers steady value for points and three-pointers, averaging 13.4 points, 2.6 triples, and 2.2 rebounds across his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard formats for managers needing perimeter scoring. Andrew Nembhard and Pascal Siakam should continue to handle most of the offense.

Pascal Siakam Will Play Against Lakers

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) will suit up against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The team has upgraded Siakam's status from probable to available. Indiana's star forward has averaged 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.2 steals since the All-Star break. He's been banged up quite a bit, but that didn't stop Siakam from going off for 37 points in Monday's win over Orlando.

Andrew Nembhard Probable for Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after recently playing through the same issue. He appears on track to remain in the starting lineup after strong back-to-back performances. Nembhard posted 13 points, seven rebounds, and 14 assists in 35 minutes Monday after finishing with 25 points and seven assists in his previous outing. He offers solid fantasy value while handling lead guard duties. T.J. McConnell could see extra ballhandling work if any limitations arise.

Aaron Nesmith • PF • Pacers

Aaron Nesmith Likely Available Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers and is expected to remain in his usual starting role despite ongoing injury management. Nesmith has been productive lately, averaging 17.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 3.6 three-pointers over his last five games while logging nearly 28 minutes per contest. He finished with 19 points and five three-pointers in Monday's win and remains a solid streaming option for points and threes. Jarace Walker and Ben Sheppard could see slightly more wing minutes if any limitations arise.

Pascal Siakam Expected to Play Against Lakers

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers after being listed with a minor knee issue following his recent return to action. The veteran is coming off a dominant performance with 37 points, two three-pointers, six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and two blocks in 34 minutes Monday. He should continue to handle a heavy workload if active and remains a must-start in all formats. Jarace Walker has continued to produce alongside Siakam and could be worth a look while the minutes remain elevated.

Obi Toppin Cleared to Play Against Magic

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (foot) will make a second consecutive appearance on Monday against the Orlando Magic. Toppin recently recovered from a fractured foot, and the team is still monitoring his workload. It was initially uncertain whether he would play on Monday when Indiana listed Toppin as questionable on the injury report. Toppin has looked good in his last five outings, posting averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

Aaron Nesmith Will Play Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) has shaken off a questionable tag and will suit up on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He is managing a right ankle injury but is ready to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Despite producing a five-point dud on Saturday against San Antonio, Nesmith has averaged 15.6 points and 2.0 rebounds across his last five outings. However, with Pascal Siakam (knee) and Andrew Nembhard (calf) available on Monday, Nesmith likely has to take the backseat on the offensive end.

Andrew Nembhard Available Against Magic

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) has been upgraded to available for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. While Nembhard has been held back by various health issues in recent weeks, he had a great outing on Saturday against San Antonio, putting up 25 points and dishing out seven assists. Nembhard has also performed well against the Magic this season, averaging 19.5 points and 9.0 assists in 33.0 minutes per game.

Pascal Siakam Ready for Action Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam (knee) has been cleared to play on Monday against the Orlando Magic. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right knee sprain. The four-time All-Star has also dealt with a wrist injury this month, appearing in only four games. He has averaged 22.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.3 steals in 30.5 minutes in March. Orlando has struggled to contain Siakam this season, allowing him to score 60 points over two games.

Pascal Siakam May Miss Monday's Game Vs. Orlando

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Orlando after returning Saturday from a six-game absence and logging 14 points, five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes. Managers should monitor his status closely after the quick turnaround. Jarace Walker would remain the main beneficiary if Siakam sits after producing 21 points, five three-pointers, four rebounds, and four assists in 35 minutes in his last start. Kobe Brown could pick up a few extra minutes and is on the radar in deeper leagues, while Jalen Slawson is still a risky play since he's on a two-way deal and not guaranteed a steady role.

Aaron Nesmith • PF • Pacers

Aaron Nesmith Could Miss Saturday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio as he continues to deal with right ankle injury management. Indiana could again be thin across the rotation with multiple players carrying questionable tags, which may lead to more minutes for Kobe Brown and Jalen Slawson (G League) if available. Brown finished with eight points, two three-pointers, and one steal in 20 minutes in the last game and could be a deep-league option. Slawson posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks in 37 minutes and would carry streaming appeal if cleared.

Andrew Nembhard Could Miss Fourth Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio and could miss a fourth straight contest. Indiana's backcourt is dealing with multiple injuries, with T.J. McConnell (hamstring), Ben Sheppard (ankle), and Quenton Jackson (calf) also questionable, which could force rotation adjustments. Kam Jones could see increased usage after posting 14 points, four three-pointers, nine assists, and two steals in 27 minutes in his last start. He could be a deep-league streaming option if more minutes open up. Jarace Walker and Pascal Siakam (knee) may also take on more scoring depending on availability.

Pascal Siakam Uncertain for Saturday Against Spurs

Indiana Pacers forward/center Pascal Siakam (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio as he looks to return after a six-game absence. His return could lead to fewer available minutes in the frontcourt. Jarace Walker started the last game and posted 10 points, two three-pointers, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes. Walker has been playing well and has provided a boost for fantasy managers with the playoffs underway. Siakam's return would likely cut into his workload. Siakam should be back in starting lineups if active.

Ivica Zubac • C • Pacers

Ivica Zubac to Miss Rest of the Season

Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac (ribs) will officially miss the rest of the 2025-2026 regular season, according to Dustin Dopriak. Zubac won't play again after suffering a fractured rib during Wednesday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man was acquired at the trade deadline in a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. Sadly, Zubac was only able to suit up in five games for the Pacers this season. The Pacers aren't playing for anything but lottery odds, so they'll give Zubac plenty of time to rest and recover. Jay Huff should move into the starting five for the remainder of the season. Given the Pacers' injuries, Huff figures to play a significant role and should offer fantasy value in most formats.
